oil? syth or good old mineral

[GBgolfman]

What would be best for a high miler. Normally would use semi syth but it seems to rattle a bit more with this in so Im thinking of putting in some basic mineral oil. What do the experts say.

Mineral Oil's

I am going from Motorex synth oil to Castrol GTX. The price is a quarter of that for the synth and condidering the amount of beemers riding around the world, the change will not harm the engine.

There have been a number of forum features on this issue and if you stick to a well-established manufacturer, I doubt it would effect the life cycle of the engine compnents. I will just change it more often and see the what happens.

Awe Fatboy you had me all excited there for a minute, talk about Syths an awl. Thought you had an inside line on the new Starwars movie or summit

Oh well, 'May the Force be With You' anyway

Fatboy...there have indeed been quite few threads on oil, and a lot of debate on whether it's worth going to synthetic, semi synthetic or just pure mineral oil.

Try plugging those into the search button and settle in for a long read

What oil?

Based on my dealers recommendation i'm using Shell Advance mineral oil for the first 5k, i might then shift to the semi with fully synthetic coming in at maybe 20k, but what the hell do i know i bought it to ride.
