Dino (Conventional) oil?
I've searched and searched to no avail. I already know that I am switching to Mobil 1 Full Syn at around 1,500 miles, but need to do my first oil change this weekend. My searches have pulled up oil filter info, but no oil info. What is a good 10w-40 Conventional oil (Not Syn) to use for the next 1,000 miles?

This I know, but I just need to know what to use until I hit 1,500 miles to go full syn. Unless you are saying you went full syn since new and have been for a year.

My Triumph is the bitch that gets to try all the wonder oils. 0-30 was a disaster, had to remove it after only 10 miles, 50W went through clutches and rings, 20-50 a little bit better life but not much. Mobile 10-40 motorcycle 4T racing worked wonders, no valve movement, no clutch problems, no metal filings, no engine noise. 20-50 car oil toasted the new Barnett clutch, and broke rings on the left bank. If it doesn't say motorcycle oil it ain't, noway, belongs in a motorcycle cause it don't have the critical additives for the clutch and tranny. I think I'll try Wesson cooking oil next in the Triumph I heard that was some good s..t.

Probably not that well....IIRC I even started an a VERY similar oil thread almost a year ago....so I know something is there. The reason I don't post much is because I find most of what I need through searches.
