Dear Dr. Stereo,
I grew up in a poor rural catholic family of five children.
As we grew up things improved a little with dad eventually staying out of jail long enough to put a roof over our heads, and mum staying out of the pub long enough to cook us a meal once or twice a week. My sisters prostitution and my brother's sexual perversions involving several of our neighbours livestock and a few of the domestic animals too, eventually forced us from the district.
Our new life in the city was much nicer, with the five children now having one whole room to ourselves, and a toilet which flushed, was only just outside the back door and was only shared with the other park residents. Also with not as many animals around, my brothers temptations were kept at bay, although my sister was still an issue.
My question to you Dr. Stereo is, with a new bike, when should you switch to synthetic oil?
Thank you very much for your question sir. It has often been a debate in my household as to when one should swap from a fossil based oil to a synthetic oil.
Fossil fuel companies will tell you that fossil based oil is superior in every way but requires more changing.. while synthetic oil companies maintain that their product is superior in every way...
Your sister is a great advocate non-petrolium based lubricants, as am I.... And as I was saying to your mum the other day at the Dog & Bone... The pro's know where its at...
Your sister is quite right......... Non petrolium based lubricants wins out over natural ones in the long run...
At your first major service (12,000k) change to semi synthetic... Then 8,000km later swap to fully sythetic... It will reduce wear and running temperature....
