Engine oil ??????

Here is usually a hot topic with alot of opinions. So here we go. I'm getting ready to change my oil for the first time and would like to What engine oil to use and why. Can I go to a straight 5w 40 synthetic or should I go with Can Am oil?? Let the fun begin.

Rotella 15W40 also reduces the noise.

after the clutch cover update mine leaks....they use the BRP fully synthetic and I think that changing from that to the rotella/belray might help...

What do you guys think?

No others??? In dirt bikes oil is a touchy subject with lots of input and opinions. I find it hard to believe that it is not the same over hear. But mention exhaust......
