I prefer a oil like the royal purple which I did like. i'v been reading wd40 for piston rings, no oil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIxaesJ190U http://youtu.be/lCZAaN7fFLg

I would add that the cam lube I use is whatever the cam company sends with it and if they don't send any I use STP on the foot.
