Did I miss something MS I didn't take it as anyone "crucifying" you. Just a few opinions on the ever so beat to death synthetic oil debate. I say just like whatever bike you choose to ride, if you want to use synthetic oil then use it. I think the majority of people "read somewhere" that synthetic will make your clutch slip and have never actually went through the process to try it out. Alot of that is to blame on these powersports stores and them hiring uneducated parts and service guys that speak out of their ass to customers and now that customer is misinformed and repeats that misinformation to others.
I am not sure if you were referring to my comment here or not, but I was just stating personal experience which really had nothing to do with synthetic vs dino but more of running motor oil in a trans like alot of HD guys do. I personally felt better with the heavier gear lube in the trans vs. engine oil.
I appreciate the tip on the seafoam that is something I never thought about putting in the transfer case. Thanks!

P.S. Just cause you haven't figured out how to use a clutch yet you don't have to be embarrassed.
