The most important thing that you can do is find a good synthetic based oil. Natural oils are good, but synthetics offer so much more lubrication and hold up better under severe conditions, IE-sitting in traffic when that motor is building ALOT of heat and not dissipating it fast enough.
I have no connection to any company for profit or otherwise, but I have found I have had really good luck with Lucas brand oils. I had problems with my cam bearings a few years ago and ran Lucas synthetic oil in my motor and was able to sqeak another ten thousand miles out of the motor before disassembly. Synthetics also help with the wear of the cam chain tensioners, since they are made of plastic, and the cost of new ones are about 65.00 a piece. Cam chain tensioners are another subject we will cover later.
