Can I use this with regular motor oil (non synthetic) as well?

I don't have a clue My oil is synthetic so I suppose it needs to be synthetic.

You will want to purchase a high-quality 5W-30 or synthetic 0W-30, 4-cycle motor oil

I can't see why not. It is an excellent oil. Sure works well in my Sportster transmission/chaincase/clutch. It's yellow metal safe, too. Not for synchros in an automobile transmission.

Neither it says synthetic nor mineral oil. It could be semi synthetic because the changing interval usually between 60k to 80k. Whatever it is but I personally prefer to stick with 40k interval for peace of mind.

Sure, you can use it with any oil you have, just drop twice more (drops) oil then manufacturer suggests for better (noticeable) result

I'm no automotive expert. That said, I've been using synthetic oil in my 4 Toyotas for more than 10 years now and never had a problem. There is no reason to expect a problem since synthetic oil is just a chemically pure form of standard distilled oil and designed to match it. Keep in mind that you can mix synthetic oil with ordinary oil. In fact they sell it that way all the time. I've never heard anyone claim there would be a problem using standard filters with synthetic oil.

I believe that Lucas states that it is compatible with any oil whether its synthetic or not. Do your home work though. Amsoil is a superior oil compared to many other brands. The Independent studies are available to prove it.

Operating instructions indicate the following: "Additives are NOT recommended." I haven't tried it, however would ASSUME it to be alright if oils are used judiciously.

You can switch back and forth oil at any time. In fact, synthetic blends are simply a mixture of synthetic and conventional oils. It is advisable that you use the same oil for top-ups if needed, thereby giving you the best protection from the oil that you have chosen. Synthetic oils will enhance the engine protection in older motorcycle engines just as they do for new engines.

Hi, this oil really isn't an oil, it's watery. So I don't think it'll really mix with other oils. Maybe, I'm sorry I just don't know.

Try prolong it doesn't burn as fast as conventional oil. Mix it with the motor oil every oil change. It can be purchased at auto zones or online at www.gwlinc.com/estore/category/34_1/Automotive.aspx

If you've been using synthetic for the life of the car I would say that is okay but if you are looking to switch from long-term conventional use the switch may cause leaks as synthetic seems to clean areas out more. I know this from working as an oil tech and seeing countless people come in and want to switch to synthetic and come back with new leaks that didn't exist before

You need to check your owner's manual. It will list the acceptable lubricant(s) to use but most likely will not refer to a specific name brand. The manual will describe the "service" and "weight". If your question is whether or not to use a synthetic lubricant then I recommend the synthetic over the petroleum based. Hope this helps.

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

I am currently using it in a Suzuki 300 engine. This is synthetic and cannot be mixed with standard oils. Drain bike completely first and replace oil filter when refilling.
