I currently have about 800 miles on my new ZX636. I used petroleum oil for my first change of course. With my car I'm a loyal Amsoil user and eventually would like to put it in my bike too. I have heard plenty of conflicting advice as to when it is ok to switch over. One dude said at 1500, the guy at the shop said 5000.

Lay it on me, what do ya'll think?

yeah, around 5000 seems to be the going number around here. i think i went synthetic around 6000.

 

[ZX6RRNewbie]

I went synthetic at 3000 miles.

I went to a synth/dino blend around 4000 and did just switch to full synth at 5900.
