Default RE: Bad Synthetic Experience

Here's a vote for Royal Purple 20w50w. I was in florida last week, and decided to change the oil. I got hung up in Atlanta afternoon rush hour on the way home, and the engine was approaching 300°. Not much I could do about it, but no adverse effects. I do think the Feuling oil pump that I have installed kept the bike from puking oil thru the breather, as hot as it got.
