I use 20/50 and ride all winter sometimes in the teens with heated gear. The problem with where I live is that it can be in the 20s one day and two days later it might be 65-70 degrees. If oil was temperature dependent I'd be swapping it out every other week between Nov and March.

You'd have a hard time finding someone who will argue against the benefits of full synthetic oil. I'm running conventional oil in my new scoot until the 1k service. Then I'll run Mobil 1 synthetic exclusively.

This seems to be the consensus. Gone are the days I guess of waiting 5-8,000 miles before changing.
