RE: wazzup with the oils
You can change the oils to make adjustments to track conditions . I have used different oils in the center and front of my mayhem and found putting 3000 in the rear the best for all conditions . I`d talk to some racers at your track and see what they find best for your track . I can`t remember what I used in my savage .

RE: wazzup with the oils
Are you a basher or racer? Most people say to use the heavy(10k+) for bashing use because it acts almost as a locker. I only bash around the local BMX track or random parking lot and have found the lighter weight oils to be much easier to control.
When you use the heavy oils your tires will "push" around the corners because they are trying to turn at the same spead instead of turning at individual speeds.
In my opinion use lighter oil for all purposes, bashing or racing. You will have much more steering control.
