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.


Wife got five years of no extra charge synthetic oil and filter changes
with her Toyota and it turns out that I got three years of the same with
my Toyota. 10,000 mile intervals, though I had her car's oil changed at
5,000 and I'll do the same.


More important...how often do you change the oil in your bad-ass Ducati?

You put a couple of quarts of syn oil in your bike each year, and you
are getting it via mail order to save a couple of bucks?

Hehehehe.

You are the very definition of an asshole.

The service interval with synthetic oil is every 7,500 miles, but I have
it done quarterly. I don't drive 7,500 miles in a "quarter."

You buy a few quarts of synthetic oil once a year via mail order to
save, literally, a couple of bucks?

Hehehehehe.

I suppose that makes sense if there aren't any retailers nearby that
sell what you want.

I'm sure you don't. You've finally said something believable.

It makes no difference to us assholes. The seller, Powersports911, just called me to let me know the price quoted by Amazon was the 'one quart' price. The listing was incorrect. As I was not ready to pay $17+ per quart, I cancelled the order. Back to the Mobil 1 for the Goose.

Well, then, I'll bet your local Walmart sells that, eh?

Its not the oil. Oil doesn't wear out. The additive package wears out
and the oil gets dirty. Theoretically changing filters and adding
supplementary additives should do the trick.


I would rather just get the contaminants out of there.
Additives are just ****ing on the fire

We have become a mail order (AKA internet now) society. It is not as
much the money as the convenience. Unfortunately if we do too much of
that, the guy up the street goes out of business and you are forced to
mail order everything.
That is certainly true with electronic parts. When Radio Shack went
out of business, the last of the parts places was gone around here and
they sucked.
