let me get this correct, synthetics don't reduce wear and don't increase fuel milage measurabley? i know lots of harley people that religously are changing the syn 3 every 2500 in the tranny/primary and motor. would they just as well be served using the dino products using this change interval? i am presently using the red cap mobil 15-50 in the motor and shared tranny primary in a 1200 xlh. do you really think i would just as well be using castrol 20-50 gtx oil and a 75-90 petro gear oil for these changes? i believe thats what the harley sport~trans gear oil equates to. i, myself, beleive, that if a synthetic oil reduces friction, it also will reduce wear,heat, and increase milage and performance, especialy in an air cooled motor. i am just going by what i have read on some of the car posts i have read saying that synthetics are only "worth it" and such if you are doing extended drains, starting in sub-zero weather...not exactly motorcycle riding time...or tropical heat. i guess the peace of mind factor play a big role here. comments?
