I just top it off when it gets low with whatever I have. Usually I have to use gas station oil, whatever that is

I run motul 300v synthetic in my 04 R1, the bike seems to like it better than stock oil.

I've been running the kawasaki oil/filter in my bike, just changed my oil today to mobil 1 fully synthetic (gold cap) and a kawi filter and what a night and day difference.. shifts smoother, revs smoother and it seemed to quite the valve train down a bit. I'm very pleased If only it would stop raining.. bleh
