I just swapped it again at 3300 miles (Castrol didn't give me any warm fuzzies and I couldn't wait to hit 4000) with Amsoil 10w-30. So far, having fresh oil in the bike has made it extra smooth, I wanna say maybe even smoother than when I first rode her home. I can't wait to see how well this Amsoil will hold up over the next few thousand miles.

I am currently on Amsoil 10W30 too, going good so far. I really wanted to try that HP4s full synthetic from Honda..think I'll run HP4s next time..

HP4 is a synthetic blend. HP4S full synthetic. To my knowledge the 4S doesn't come in 10w-40 only 10/30. I wanted to try 10/40.

This is correct. Honda's full-synthetic is not made in 10-40, it is 10-30 only.

Ah, that explains why my dealer only has Honda full-synth in 10-30 on the shelf.
Makes sense, if Honda were going to choose to distribute just one grade of full synthetic it makes sense to choose 10-30 over 10-40.. I'd like to use 10-30 and I *want* the '30' part of it to stay at '30' for as long as possible :-)
