Not sure I want to participate in this but here goes..
Why would one NOT run synthetic?
Well,
Have never used synthetic..don't see where it is an advantage
Change oil at 4000 mile service intervals on all my vehicles ( exception..put fresh oil in my ST before going to Cali, changed it when I got back 5424 miles)
Always use a new oil filter even though Honda says I can skip every other oil change
Have never had an engine failure for oil related reasons or any other reasons for that matter.. I've never had an engine failure for any reason
Have only read of one or two instances where riders actually stretched their changing habits when changing to synthetic ie: going 8-10,000 miles between changes. Most still change at 3-4000 miles ... Anyone here run their synthetic 8,000 miles?
