I use the Castrol Syntec blend, which is partially synthetic, in my Ambo.
She doesn't leak any worse than with straight dino oil. I have seen a
signifcant difference in engine heat with Synthetic, so I prefer it here in
the desert.

 What type of Engine Oil do y'all use? I had heard at a seminar that
m/c's need m/c oil and that normal automotive oil when new is only as
good as used m/c oil. My Guzzi mechanic says he uses 20W50 Motor Oil
(Quaker state or Pennsoil - PA oils). I have heard Mobil 1 is a good
choice but can cause leaks. Any input?

Thanx!
