Default Synthetic vs Regular Oil

Minus the breaking period where you are supposed to use mineral oil or whatever. Is it best to just run synthetic in a quad?

What kind of quad & what kind of oil do you use?

Best article out there!<a href="http://www.thumperfaq.com/oil.htm">

More than you ever wanted to know!

I run Honda GN4 in my autoclutch bikes (Honda does not recommend synthetics for these). In my 400's I run Honda HP4 (without moly) a synthetic/petrolium blend. In the 450, I run Honda HP4M (with moly) on the engine side, and Honda HP Trans Oil in the transmission.

If I was going to run a full synth, I would probably pick Maxima Ultra.
