I just bought a new Rubicon and will be doing my first oil and filter change and was wondering if it is okay to use synthetic. I was thinking Amsoil and wondering if it would harm anything. Thanks.
It only takes like 20 hours...or 100 miles...to set the rings...Wait!!!!! When i bought mine,and had it in for warranty work,there was a guy that had a 05 rubi,and it was smoking...not bad but you could tell,anyways he was pissed cuz the would not warrant it cuz he put synthetic oil in to early,after they told him "not to" The mech was saying he didnot give the vavles/ring to set????? Didnot realy p/u on that,but they said he should have waited at least 1200 miles,to be on the safe side. take it how you want but thats what i saw and heard.

Ask them if they will warranty it if it starts smoking???I called 2 dealers to be sure and they said no problem. A little extra money for the oil but hopefully it will pay back in the long run. I bought the Amsoil motorcycle oil as the dealers suggested. It's changed and in there. Didn't get out there cruising with it yet but if any problems or noticiable differences I'll keep you informed...
I thought synthetic was actually better, not the case?Does the manufactor use synthetic.... No they don't. Why use it if it's not recommended! Save your money!
