Amsoil and mileage

Does anybody recommend Amsoil? If so, what grade. Should I use syn oil before I hit 5000 miles.

Amsoil and Mobil 1 are ranked right at the top in any oil comparison I have read. I am sure 10-40 is the way to go for everyday street riding....................however 20-50 is more stable in severe duty situations, such as riding in slow traffic in Phoenix @ over 100 degrees..............

tool man can attest to the heat there.................

I used to run the 10-40 synthetic blend in my ZX9R and I was pleased. I'll probably use it again in the 14 to race as we are trying to establish a "partnership" with our shop.
