I usually avoid Wal-Mart for many reason which I won't go in to here
but they were closing out all their walmart branded full synthetic
oil so I purchased all the 10-30 (15 gallons)@ $2.15 a quart so now my
rigs are running the same weight and brand except the ol'88 GW and this
is where I'm running into the problem,some dealers say DON'T use
anything but the Honda synthetic and some are saying you will have NO
problems with the clutch using it since it meets and exceeds required
spec's. What I need is some reeky feedback and possible links to help me
settle the issue...I thought about just changing it and see what happens
but I could damage the clutch and end up costing me mucho gineros..yelp!
;)
I hope this isn't a redundant issue here,I checked googlegroups and
couldn't locate the needed info so here I r.

Honda doesn't won a oil refinery... they buy from the same synthetic stocks as
everyone else... package it like everyone else... if they say that theirs is
better than the rest... that's using fear like a club to clobber the
competition...

What does winning an oil refinery (or owning one, for that matter) have to
do with synthetic oil?

Oil w/friction modifiers will make your clutch slip. Does the
oil have them?

Tests with automotive synthetic have disproved the old wives tale about
clutch slipping. However, a real concern is that automobile oils do not
contain some of the heavy duty additives that are in bike oils. The only
non-bike oils that match up are those specified for diesel truck & other
heavy duty purposes. Another concern is that if your bike shares its engine
oil with its tranny, the gears will destroy the long-chain molecules that
work as temperature-sensitive thickeners. This is solved by both using the
heavy duty stuff and simply changing the oil more frequently (easier to do
with cheaper oil).
