Idemitsu... can't remember where i ordered it.
This is probably the best way to measure it and put it in the tank.

Right now, Sabre Pro because it's rated ISO L-EGD.

The usually use an ISO L-EGD oil from the local farmers Co-Op but Saber is great stuff, and it was on sale.

I use 6-10 oz per tank, depending on what type of driving I'm gonna be doing. If I'm going to the track or out to the mountains I run 10 oz, 6oz for everyday driving.

If you're referring to the TTS change make

I mostly use motul 600 or the newer 710 or some valvoline synpower 2t or competition oil 2t. Valvoline has also got some oils for catalyzed vehicles!
