As far as synthetic goes, the same rules apply. Make sure that it is the right weight 10w Pour it in your bike and enjoy synthetic bliss. Synthetics are better than conventional oils. They have a higher temperature tolerance and develop much less sludge when used longer than the interval service is specified, which, for our bikes, is about miles per oil change.
They shift smoother when cold and have less false neutrals when hot - this is my experience. Results may vary. But you may not even notice the difference in synthetic other than by the weight of your wallet I use it for the peace of mind when I'm in rush our traffic on a degree day - stop and go, stop and go.
If you love your bike and want only the best, buy a synthetic. To save money, buy a "car" synthetic off the shelf. If you wan't to save money, even the cheapest 10w oil will do. There is nothing wrong with SuperTech oil - Used Oil Analysis proves that it is just as good or better than most name brand oils when used in cars. And it is dirt cheap. I have yet to come accross a better deal than that for a motorcycle specific synthetic oil. You can pretty much bet that Walmart prices are better than anyone else's for motor oil, unless someone's having a sale.
Flame on haters As for me, I use car oils. I buy Mobil 1 synthetic 10w "car" oil. It works great in my '75 CB When I'm running low on cash, I buy Shell Rotella 15w I only run this in the summer as it is thicker at startup than 10w, which causes it to take a few milliseconds longer to start lubricating the top end.
Rotella is one of the few "car" oils that is actually recommended by the manufacturer to be used in motorcycles. That's what sold me on it. Shell doesn't even sell a motorcycle specific oil, IIRC. Change the oil, use 3 quarts. Have an extra quart around to top it off before a ride. The choice is yours. I appreciate the feedback I realize it was a remedial question here After work I am doing a lube and filter change.
A few others insist on "Motorcycle Racing Oil"? Nobody I ride with has a 40 year old Honda though, so I thought I'd hit the forum up for some intel. Again, thanks for taking the time to respond.

What motor oil do you CB guys run? I've heard everything from partial sythetic to non-synthetic due to wet clutch systems in our engines. I've also read about Shell's Rotella T6 oil as being "the best" oil for our engines. Ton of people rave about it, but its labeled as a full synthetic, though many claim its not truly a synthetic. I'm hesitant to put it in my engine. What do you guys run, success stories, failures? Riding is cheap. You decide. Flugtechnik My bike is not transportation, it is a respite.
Remember, Cpt. The forumation reduces internal losses in the engine, whilst retaining optimum wet clutch performance to ensure efficient transfer of power to the rear wheel. A full synthetic four-stroke SAE 5W engine oil suitable for use in high performance and competition four-stroke, Japanese and European motorcycle engines, including all high performance multi-cylinder, multi-valve, V-Twin, air or water-cooled sports or race replica models.
