Once you've gone synthetic your stuck with it..
That used to be the case back when synthetics first came out, but with current oil technology, you can flip-flop all you want.

Are you sure just a few days ago I over heard some of the techs telling a customer about some oil. Said if he went with it there would be no turning back..

Yep, 100% sure; done it myself a few times. It is however a good line to tell people if you're looking to sell the expensive stuff

Just did mine. The guy who pwned the bike before must have overfilled it cause I pulled about 6 qts of oil. I used a K&N oil filter (made the install easy) and genuine Honda sythetic oil.

I can't remember exactly what the price was, but I think it was about $12 or a gallon jug. My local Auto Zone has it, too, for about $15, so I usually get it there.

I go full synthetic. It's noticeable in the first several hundred miles. And after that seems to feel the same as anything else. I think I'm going with the K&N filter next time though. Do you have to replace it every time? Call me dumb, but isn't most K&N stuff washable?
