Re: [ST] synthetic oil

[Neil Lindsey <Neil.Lindsey@xxxxxxx>]

obviously your mechanic is not Triumph-certified -- Triumph-branded Mobil 1 
is FULL synthetic

oils that are designated as 'energy conserving' (EC) contain additives that 
can potentially cause a wet clutch to slip (not 'wear out' per se), so check 
the oil container carefully -- having said that I've been using Wal-Mart 
Mobil 1 for years without any hint of clutch problems

it has little to do with whether the oil is semi- or full-synthetic

hopefully you have not touched off yet another oil thread -- there is PLENTY 
of info out there, including in our own archives
