 Synthetic Oil
I've read in numerous places that synthetic improves the performance of your motor. Just bought a new 35 HP Go-Devil. I put regular 30w oil in it for the break-in period and after 6 or 8 hours I'm planning on draining it and re-filling with synthetic. The question is.....If this motor was going to be running in temperatures from 0 degrees to 70 degrees...what would you use for Oil weight?? I'm leaning toward 10w 30. Anyone see a big problem with that?? Would I be better served with something else??
Thanks

 Re: Synthetic Oil
 Its getting close to oil change time for me. I was thinking I'll put some of the secret systhetic stuff. When I saw the price tag yesterday on that shiat I found my way to the conventional section. That damn Royal Purple must come from royal land with that price tag!
