Hi Gunnar,

Given that Guzzi recommends changing the engine oil every 1800 miles, I
think it would get pretty expensive to use synthetic. And since there
isn't an oil filter, I personally don't want to go longer than 1800
miles, no matter what oil I choose to use. I don't want to start an oil
thread here, but given the frequency of changes, I just use the
inexpensive Wal Mart 20W50. I used to use Castrol 20W50 because it made
me sleep better at night...but I got over that and now just use the
cheap stuff. :>

Now if I could only touch on religion, politics, and tires in this
post...

benefit of using Synthetic Oil for the engine?
