You know, on another note, I would take the information you read here with a grain of salt. There's more bad information coming from the members on this site than you might care to believe. It's one thing to recommend accessories, but when it comes to the blood coursing through your engine's oil galleries, do your own research. I mean, it's YOUR bike.

That jab wasn't really necessary.

I am well versed in the manual.

I know oil threads can get hot and I usually don't get involved in them for that reason.

Forgive me for saying, but you don't come across as being that well versed... just from what I see here. You'll get over it... you're a big boy.

Easy to get but a bit pricie for the quality, at it's price point, there are better options.

I am thinking about changing the oil I use, I currently use the Syn 3.

I would like to know what others are using and why.
