Not really its better for protection when hammering it.

In a nut shell:

10w40 - day to day
10w50 - spirited driving
10w60 - hard driving/trackdays

I use Millers NT 10w60, good performance so far and have recently won awards for its Nano Technology oils.

Others use Silkolene; people like Clarke (RCM) uses ProLong due to it offering the best engine wear results against other brands (might be a marketing ploy).

Swings and roundabouts, however make sure you use a quality brands and don't get cheap and cheerful brands.
Also Halfords trackday oils - don't bother results are coming out of poor protection levels.

Ill admit im a bit of a cheapskate but the Planet Oils 10w40 i use has never caused me any problems. Admittedly i dont do trackdays but i do drag race occasionally.

You might not think its doing any harm, but the insides might tell a different story.
If I were you I'd shell out a little more cash if you want your engine to last and perform better :thumb:

Buy the best can't go wrong then,these oils have been tried and tested by many a Pulsar owner for years with lots of racing and normal day to day driving experience!

Will take advice into consideration. Will probably get bobby to check the engine over when he fits my cams :-D
