On my 1200RTLC the owners manual says "SAE 5W-40, API SL / JASO MA2, additives (for
instance, molybdenum-based substances) are
prohibited because they would attack the coatings
on engine components. BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use the BMW Motorrad oils
available from your BMW Motorrad Dealer."
Does this mean DO NOT use synthetic oil? Im looking 5w-40 oils and they are all synthetic.
