In my 1978 california i'm using Rock oil TRM 20/60 fully synth - engine is as quiet as a church mouse when it's running. I also use it in my harley.

Blurb -

Rock Oil TRM 20/60 is the ultimate lubricant for all highly stressed 4 stroke engines.
TRM fully synthetic 20w60 is a specially formulated synthetic oil containing selected large molecule base fluids combined with a unique additive package.
TRM is especially good for engines with roller bearing crank shafts and V twin engines used under arduous or racing conditions.

Basic 20/50. If I use anything synthetic or different I start getting minor leaks, like the seal behind the alternator.
