Any long term users of Castrol fully synthetic oil?

thought I would bring up this debate again. anyone used the stuff from tesco's and reported any problems, going away to europe on 3rd june and don't want any problems. esp since a Suzuki mechanice to use strictly semi synthetic since fully can cause problems.

I have done about 9000 miles on this oil. I used it before it turned up at Tesco. I bought 9 bottles. No problems at all. Engine doesn't take any oil or not enough for me to notice and I never had to put any extra oil in between the services. I service my bike every 4k miles and never had a problem.
When I bought my bike it had 5k miles on it. I put fully synthetic oil in. All together I have done 17000 worry free miles on fully synth.

Just looking at a thread on the Reporting of milky oil through the site glass, anyone mentioned which oil they are using!!!! I am using semi synth until the bike has done more miles, no milky sightings.  :shrug:

it will come, but more so if only doing short journeys in the cold

That's no problem , it's just due to condensation , they found that out later on in the thread. If you run your bike for a long run , it goes away.
