Anyone heard of this? The Moto Guzzi forum has several folks buying it, price is right.

I would rather use regular dino oil and change it regularly. The main
claim of synthetics and premium oil is extended change intervals.
The reality is modern engines will outlast the vehicle they are in
most of the time, even if they are ignored.


I don't think the "main" claim for synthetic oil is extended change
intervals.

Synthetics are vastly superior to dino oil. Better retention of
viscosity at low and high temperature extremes is the primary benefit.
Most manufacturers specify synthetics now for new cars.

Like I said, how many cars are junked because of oil related failures?
There is a reason people buy junkyard motors. That is perhaps the only
big part that is there and still worth using.
