Default Season Oils

Do you all change different types (Density, Cooler Running Oils) of oils during dif. seaons? Also I've ran normal Factory Honda Oil that comes in the Red 4 liter jug and I want to start running full synthetic. Is this going to cause any severe/ permanent changes, and is this recommended? I have about 45 thousand miles on my bike and I'm due for a sprocket and chain change as well as an oil change and a carb sync and I want to start knocking these things out with each paycheck. Let me know what you would recomend! I appreciate ANY INFORMATIVE responses.

I run repsol full race oil at the track and castrol superbike on the street. Both are incredible full synthetics, definately worth the money.

it would probably be bad to run race oil on the street because race oil is intended for track use right?

The full synthetic oil is better for lubrication and for keeping the engine parts in better shape.
This doesn't mean that the semi-synth stock used is poor.
The racing oils are made because the high revs that are used during the track. There's no problem riding race oil on street.
