time for an oil change...

so.. I did something I've never done before... I bought Kawasaki brand full synthetic oil...

it's only for 3000kms so I thought I'd give it a shot.. opinions?

Fish, use 'dinosaur' oil for the first two oil changes, then the synth.

Otherwise, I have no argument with Kawachem. Heck, I use 'em too, though I have Motul 5100 in there right now. Will use AMS oil or Mobile 1 next, I think, for the Phoenix heat.

Not that I'm any kind of expert...

Can't see how it would be a bad choice, and easy to get at the dealer. How much?

seemed pretty reasonable.. aprox $30 cdn for 4 litres... synths in canada are pretty pricey, all starting at about $6 / litre and up to about $18 / litre.
