I will run amsoil or yamalube if I feel rich. I mostly always run valvoline 2 stroke oil.

I wouldn't consider it high mileage, but ~6500 miles on my MM and always used Yamaha 2S.
Whatever
On a redhead it doesn't matter. You could probably use your used motor oil out of your lawnmower and it would still go forever. LOL

Years ago a Pennsoil salesman told me that alot of the off brands were sold by major refiners and just bottled in different labels. Some with lower prices some with higher. I remember reading Turk saying to burn the cheap stuff so I use Motomaster....no problems and 4800 miles...
