Synthetic Oil

[tomp]

I have heard that some sport bikes that have ceramic coated cylinders have issues with Syn oil. Other than that, I have never heard anything except to allow break-in period to occur with dino. There has to be some truth to the rumor that syn oil has less friction because engines run cooler with it. My Harley runs 20 degrees cooler with Syn oil.

I am switching over to Mobil 1 with Mobil 1 extended performance oil filter. Then I will start using the electronics tell me when to change the oil instead of changing it every 3k miles. The decision to switch over was hard for me because I get $20 oil/filter and lube at local Chevy dealer.

Now I will have to change oil/filter & lube myself and will still cost me almost $40 to do it. I am going to justify it because I will go longer between changes and engine will run cooler and may have less wear.
