With a 4 stroke, clean oil kept at the correct level and changed at the recommended interval, and filters that are changed at the recommended interval are way more important than type of oil.
Use what you prefer, and don't worry so much.  |
That's the cool thing about your H2, you change the oil as you ride it. I used to use only Castrol 2 cycle oil in my H1. When you tore down the engine you could clean the piston crown and cylinder head with a paper towel and lacquer thinner.
