I appreciate the impute and explanation. I didn’t see you really mention anything about brand. My current problem is that I had some guy put in an unknown oil and over flowed the machine (causing a smoking problem and problem with the start up/electric start). So I need to take out oil, add some of the correct oil (and shake it up a little/run it a little) and do an oil change (resulting in the correct oil). But right now it’s winter in CT, and I’ll ride the bike here and there. Sounds like I should do frequent oil changes like 10-15-20hrs, which can be reasonable depending on price, an oil change really isn’t that much effort if you have the oil on hand.
TL;DR, is there a brand suggestion for USA *brands*, and what should I use to do a clean out of the old oil and run in the winder? Does brand matter?

USA engine oil options
what engine oil brands are our options in the USA? Lots of recommendations for motorex, but that is hard to get in the US. 5w-40 in the winter and 10w-50 in the summer, seems to be the recommendation by the community as well as the manual. My bike is a 2008 fe550. I’ve seen others...

Take a look in action what a heavier oil means and think .The 10w-60 is the most heavy oil you can put in your engine .

Thats sure and you will not see the results at once as many people believe . You will see them after a lot of hours of use .

It does seem odd that for an engine designed by engineers who live in a climate where 1°C is "just another normal day" that they would recommend 10/W50.
Would you recommend 5W/40 fully synthetic or something else (for 1°C)?
I can leave home at 10:00 AM, and it's 1°C. By 3:00 PM its 13°C.
The clip below is from the Owner's manual for a 2006 fe550e.

Yes this is the right oil as the manual says . Dont forgett husa sold in all the world countries .Husa engineers the didnot knew where it goes. So they said 5w-40 below 0 c and 10w-50 over 0 c . Heviar oil is not for husa tolarances .Will ruin starter gears , cylinder and head will have more wear.I use 10w-40 at winter ( 8-20 c) and 10w-50 over 25c.Greece have not 1c never.You can use 5w-40 or 10w-40 .Dont use 0w-40 because you will have not the right oil pressure.

Entertaining reading this time of year, everyone has their own experience and theory of what works I guess.
My 2 cents and I went down the this rabbit hole some time ago with a mate that races stock cars, I always use synthetic oil in my race bikes and do regular changes, on my 92 350 it’s every ~5hrs of ride time, the oil filter is a wire screen so not so effective in cleaning the oil when it serves as a lubricant for both the engine and clutch….
As long as its synthetic oil I’m not so brand loyal, have used motorex, motul, bel-ray, castrol and currently using Penrite Driven somewhat by economics.
On weights, see attached chart as a guide, recommended in manual for my model is 10W50 which is what I use, I was in a very hot climate racing in summer for a few years and used 10W60 Motorex, no issues as long as you keep up the regular changes.
Thats my experience from over 30+ yrs of racing & riding bikes with no engine issues (tap of the head = touch wood!!).

SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. The SAE developed a numerical classification system to define the viscosity or thickness of oil. The original viscosity grades were all mono-grades, e.g. a typical engine oil was a SAE 30. This was an operating temperature viscosity. Basically, the...
