Engine Noise

[darrsi]

Matter of interest, why do you chose the fully synthetic when semi is spec'd? Quite happy to pay the extra if it treats the engine better.


Regards riding style, I try not to be too much of a demon but sometimes it just wants to go.....it's not my main form of transport, when it comes out will be for an hour minimum so will be up to temperature and will involve a little spirited riding in dry conditions unless I get caught out.

After doing a bit of research fully synthetic is supposed to offer better protection and performance over semi synthetic, and i'd seen on here that other people use it as well, so i just thought i'd give it a go.
It does the job okay so i just stuck with it.
Because i change my oil earlier than recommended it probably makes little difference, but like i said the brand that i use is a decent price and years ago it was me that decided to be the guinea pig to try it out and i've never looked back.


I personally change the oil filter every time i do an oil change as well. Some will do it every 2 changes, but for the price it just seems worth doing to me. My bike is my only transport so i look after it as much as i can.
