Default Re: Motor oil info

Just to bring up a different thought on the std -> or syn oil problem. I know on the Valkyrie Riders motorcycle forum, this question came up often. It was recommended that a new motor was broke-in on std oil for 5k to 10k miles and then switched to syn oil.

There was a problem with oil ring blowby when it was not done that way. It was felt the rings could not break in properly with syn oil. The zink cam lobe issue was not considered a problem though.
