Re: Suzuki DFI 140 4-Stroke Synthetic Oil?
I'm running Redline synthetic racing 5w30 (Honda recommended weight)oil in my Honda. It states right on the bottle NOT to use in engines that aren't broken in. It hampers the process. I switched to it at 20 hours, I've got 97 hrs. as of todays 2 hr. blast on the river.<br />My past experience has shown that CHANGEING TO synthetic isn't good for high mileage engines. It isn't good for new fresh engines. It's the best otherwise. The finest engine(auto)manufactures are all recommending it.<br />Mobil 1 is a good synthetic. It's available and reasonably priced.<br />The Redline comes from Turbine and racing applications, is hard to come by and is $7 a quart.<br />My Honda dealer hasn't a problem with me using it.<br />Four stroking it at 6,000rpm is a beautiful reason to use synthetic. I've not seen any white goo in the valve cover indicating a moisture problem.<br /><br />I know hundreds of engines, all kinds, all applications using synthetics over several years without any seal or other oil related problems.<br /><br />Your Suzuki dealer wouldn't be able to tell what kind of oil your using. <br /><br />Those twin cams and timing chains sure would like the synthetic. I'll bet you'll feel, hear and see the differance after you change, like I did.
