I've heard it might be a risk to change to synthetic fluids after going with conventional for too long? How long is too long and does that apply to all the fluids? 5+ years old and 66k miles on conventional as of right now...

 

I switched to synthetics at 90k+ and have had no problems.

 

you can swith over now, just dont switch back, stay with synthet.

 

104k or something like that when i switched 130k now with no problems

 

you can go back and forth at will

 

Is there a favorite brand and weight for any and all fluids on this board as far as synthetics go? I use Amsoil synthetic in every hole on my bike and I love it. The tranny is so much smoother with the synthetic.

 

I run mobil1 5w20 in the motor and I havent done the tranny yet so I dunno what to throw in there, but I will need to know in a year when I decide to put a new pan on it..
