There are days worth of reading on this subject on this forum. Use the search function to read the ongoing debate. Wistech is right...synthetic is all you need to know. Pick the one that has the coolest looking bottle!

Wise answer, just make sure you use your favorite color or the one with the biggest advertising budget.

Royal Purple stopped some of my customer's BMW race cams having problems so I put some in my none-updated Cannibal to see how it got on (with no time and no fresh crank to update it with).

It must have run at least 80 hrs since I bought it and this one wasn't new when I got it and, touching wood, it still is as strong as ever.

I would heartily recommend it.

Watch it sieze up this weekend now I've said this!!!

OK Wayne, I wasn't going to start another brand war but since you mentioned it.

Yes purple is my favorite color too.........oil that is.

I run it in everything. I have been using their XPR(racing 41) and the Synchromax in the trans.

why synthetic?doesnt that cause clutch slippage?maybe im just too much of ol'skool and set in my ways.i still use atf tranny fluid in the gearbox of my ktm 250 2 stroke from time to time.i figure if im gonna change the oil as much as i should,it shouldnt be too big of a deal,$9 a quart at autozone,i would need to see the proof.a piece of mind for me is obtained using the regular stuff just staying on top of the oil changes.i dont think synthetics are the differnces between these motors grenading or being bullet proof.I dont care what cannondale recommended,if they knew what they were talking about they would still be around today.
