Default 2nd - no harm as long as they are quality oils

and somewhere in the viscosity range recommended by the manufacturer.

In fact, I think more harm is done by mixing in oil additives (Slick 50, STP, Lucas) from the research I have seen.<ul><li><a href="http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html">oil linky</a></li></ul>
