I wanted to try fully synthetic for a change so tried this stuff out for quite a while now and i've been more than happy with it, with no issues whatsoever.
As long as the oil is changed within the recommended intervals then you shouldn't have any problems. The 600's are given a 6000 mile recommendation, but me, along with quite a few others tend to change it around the 4000 mile mark, so paying over the odds for it isn't too appealing just because it has a fancy name on the container.
The semi synthetic is even cheaper, but if you haven't bought any already give this gear a go, i promise you won't be disappointed.

Why are you changing it sooner than recommended? Do you doubt the oil quality, or some other reason?
API SL and JASO MA2 seem very promissing.
What's the (not petrol station rip off) price of Motul 7100 10w40 in the UK?
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
