I was using syn oil and switched back to Castrol 20/50 without issues.
Same here, and...my base gasket stopped it's oozing. I know the gasket will need replacement eventually, but I will not complain about the leak stopping.
Your bike may run a little quieter with conventional oil. I like valvoline racing 20w-50. Has a higher amount of zinc than some of the other conventional oils and is still easy to get. I change mine about every 2000 miles. YD
what is dino oil? and will this help with lifter noise at operating temp and operation?
Dino oil is non-synthetic, just a nick name for regular oil. what quiets my engine is heavier oil! I usually run straight 60w in summer, I just haven't got around to it this year, since I don't ride much in summer here in the oven.
