You won't notice any difference, it'll just leave you stranded on the side of the road

My bike is 7 months old with 8k miles and it's sounds like a sewing machine. Reading about the synthetic oil, it's thinner than regular oil, cools faster but has more noise. Personally, I'd rather have regular, hotter oil and a quieter bike.
