I've been using Mobil 1 4T motorcycle oil which is fully synthetic.

Here's a [url=http://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/motorcycle-oil-what-difference-does-it-make/]synthetic oil biased article.

I'm using Mobil 1 4T also on my CB1100, also ran with it on my 2002 CB750-Nighthawk.

-Honda full synthetic in my CB
-Yamalube full synthetic in my KLR
-Syn3 synthetic in my Harley
-Mobil 1 in both of my Mercedes as well as my Expedition
-Full synthetic lower end lube in my outboard motor

I've been using synthetic since 1990 in every engine I've owned, since I personally noticed lower engine temperatures in a Corvette I had back then. In addition I've never read any legitimate reason to use fossil based oil, rather than synthetic, other than the difference in cost. Full synthetic is far superior to fossil based especially when dealing with heat related issues. And since I live in the south, it makes sense for me to use it.

Lol it was 51 when I went for my ride this morning. NO problem with heat here until next July.

I can only hope and pray that we see those temps here... SOON!!! Sad

I use Castrol 10w 40 4t full synthetic in my CB. First off its readily available and price is right. Second, may help run a little cooler in an air cooled engine and third, you can go twice as long before changing oil. I will change the oil between 4 to 5k with full synthetic. I also feel the protection is greater.

So you only go 2000-2500 miles on Dino oil changes?
