As far as i knew, Motul TurboLite is not full synthetic. Could be wrong, but pretty certain its not. The really good motul stuff is hell expensive! I use Repsol Elite Full Synthetic.

its a semi, the full synth is 300v which is too expensive for mainly road use.

as long as service intervals are regular, there is no problem using a semi-synthetic, especially a good one like the motul.

The oil usually works better in the engine :wink:

I've used ELF many times, seems to be a good cheapish oil.

I use 5W-40 full synthetic, which ever brand i feel best at the time.

I was advised to use this viscoscity :-? because of the severe temperature changes we have -7 one day, 30 the next does this sound right?
