[QUOTE="SlowJack, post: 156498, member: 19321"] Just to muddy the waters a little more, you can run dinosaur oil in your 400exc, although I wouldn't necesssarily recommend it. The reason for running syn oil is for the superior lubrication and less viscosity breakdown under stress and heat -- and we are all only too familiar with the heat issues on an RFS, but that's a whole 'nother topic. Anyway, the semi-syn is the compromise suggested by KTM to minimize clutch burning and slipping and still provide the engine with the best possible lubrication under the circumstances. Honda has resolved this problem on the 450F by separating the engine oil and trans oil (like a 2-stroke), which would be vastly superior. However, I think I'll stick with my KTM 400. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we learn that nobody has the perfect answer, not even KTM which originally recommended the syn oil, and that we are all learning as we go. Slow Jack [/QUOTE]
