Barney Gaylord went from Castrol to Valvoline 10W40, after the Alaska 
trip. That was posted this AM or Last Night. I read it this morning. I 
use Valvoline 10W40 in Winter (avg temp below 35F) and Valvoline 20W50 
the rest of the time. I highly reccomend Valvoline. IMHO it holds 
viscosity better than Castrol. I have a Header on my Midget but it's a 
1500 so I am not sure it applies but I love it. Just the header itself 
made a hell of a Diff. Not sure if it is a Pacestter or not tho. GOt it 
from VB about 9 yrs ago.
