From the first service @1000 miles. Changed all three holes to synthetic. Different products for each hole tho.

Let's get an idea of those that are using synthetic oil in the engine just when you changed over to synthetic oil. It's not really that important what brand you used but how many miles you had when you put in the synthetic oil.


This should be interesting.

I wanted the rings to seat in well to reduce any chance of oil consumption, so I waited until 5,000 miles to retire the dino fluid...

Left dealer with 5.8 miles on her. Broke it in 30/60/30. Changed oil (hd 20/50), oil filter and transmission to spectro full synthetic for 6 speeds at about 150 miles. At 1000 miles went to mobil 1 full synthetic for v twins, spectro in tranny, hd f+ in primary.
