People seem to use anything from transmission fluid to Marvel Mystery oil. I
use 10w30 motor oil in mine and have always had good luck with it during
normal summer temperatures. During the colder season, it (10w30) may be a
bit thick until the engine warms things up.
I have used the Marvel oil (a top oil) just to compare, and really didn't
notice any difference, maybe a little when things were cold for the first few
minutes but after that, no noticable difference.
