Oil seems to be a big peer pressure thing. Same goes for 3,000 mile oil changes. They are a waste of money for the vast majority of people. It depends on your driving conditions, distance, weather, etc. If all you do is highway long trips, you're fine with 7,500 mile changes. Short trips on the other hand.......

But whatever makes people feel good.

haha, really? syn reduces friction better, you get better power and fuel economy with good oil than you do with crap. I felt the difference immediately when I moved to good oil in my last bike and in my truck. Try it sometime, not everyone is as ignorant as you think.
