Syn3 is not a bad oil it is a very good oil for an engine. The real issue and it is the same with all 20/50 is using it in all 3 holes . Bad idea for any oil.
SYN 3 was attack and the reason I would never use it because of where it comes from. Hugo oil.
That was what started the whole thing then some how it got off on to it some how being a bad oil.
I know a few that have run it for more miles than most will ride in a life time.
But as long as HUGO makes it no madder how good not with my money.
I guess the guys who think it's wrong to use syn3, have no problem with using gasoline from gas stations where they have no idea where it originally came from?
