RE: Syn or Regular Oil?
ORIGINAL: vertigo14
Hey Babs that device is pretty darn cool, will look into getting one. My syn3 was extreamly dirty after 700miles after the 1k dealer service. So I changed it out with my own oil (AMS). Been about 1000k miles since that change and fluid a pretty dirty again, most likely cause I reused the 1k filter and didnt totaly flush out the old syn3 fluid. Heh yeah yeah.. reused the filter but the filter only had 700miles on it :P still had old oil in it...

hehehe.. my basement garage knows all too well.. redline just plain stinks! Like thick cherry slushy syrup.
vertigo14,
I'm using M1 Vtwin, Redline Shockproof Heavy in the trans, and plain ole Formula+ HD fluid in the primary.. Like others have said, the change interval is the key with any of the brands.
Also, I have to say I was convinced when I did my last oil change when I bled the crank using this scavenger kit.. http://www.roguechopper.com/ Not to steal the topic or anything but it's also an easy way to get all the old contaminated oil out of the engine crankcase when you drop the oil. It helps get rid of ALL the old oil, not just what's hanging out in the oil-tank.

I like the "less stinky" oils... Redline 75W-90 has a strong odor...[:-] But does a damn good job on the tranny.
