Debate - When to Chang Your Oil??
Nothing but the best for my investment. Using synthetic should be a no-brainer. Rather than ask if you should, perhaps a better question should be "why should I not go synthetic?".
I realize dino is just fine and if changed regularly will be fine just as it's been for years....but synth is better so why not use it?
The real debate seems to be "when" to change to it, rather than "if".....

I know in my Truck (5.7 Hemi) and Cars I have heard reports of 20k oil changes with 5k/10k Filter changes. I know this sounds a bit extreme; but Syn runs better with less buildup.

There is no right or wrong answer.....I change mine earlier than recommended. However, I have a buddy that uses a famous synthetic and changes his every 10k. His '03 Ultra has about 80k on it and is still going strong. He has been using the same method for going on 20 years and racks the miles up on his bikes without any problems.

If you don't stay within their specifications you will probably invalidate your warranty, should you have an issue that could remotely be attributed to lubrication.
