Oil; the saga continues
Just my FWIW; Have been into synthetics for cars and bikes since 1978. No problems save for having to buy a new sight glass when I switched some of my BMWs from Dino to Synthetic due to fogging. That having been said, 1 bike ago I was pretty broke and bought an old shop loaner from my dealer. When I asked what oil, I was told 20-50 non-synthetic BMW. When I sold the bike, it had about 90k and still was clean inside as well as oil tight and not using any oil between 5K changes. Now riding an 09 RT. Was the standard oil Dino or Synthetic?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
