it will help keep it cooler.... but you dont have to.... and if ya got all that done you gotta say you have a eagle or bandalero not just a 23 mini.... kinda helps everyone know ya got mods done... or say modded at the least.

TANK.... Some oils have lower friction on the pistons and working part than others... which does not rob the engine of valuable horsepower...

aka the oil is faster... now if you can feel that small difference... i doubt it...

but Hizz may have super sensitivity powers.............. :lol:
