Good numbers to go by. Could go farther with the syn, but I like to get my hands dirty once in a while

Last Saturday I helped my friend do his 10k service on his RK. He insisted that being he's using Amsoil and paying a premium price for the ability to go 10k between oil changes he's gonna get his moneys worth from that oil.He changed the trans and primary as they were unknown brand . He rides alot mostly highway. Anyone else think that way?.,,

If you NEVER go more than 2,000-2,500 miles before changing what's the benefit of synthetic oil in a TC 96" engine other than running a little cooler?
