Re: far too long....
As an expatriate native Floridian, I feel qualified to offer the following post on this topic.
I use synthetic oil on my K&N air filter because it extends the service interval. Over the life of the bike I can save two, maybe three bucks. Also, you can use the black stuff that comes off the dirty filter to fill in the "checking" on the sidewalls of your old tires. Just be careful not to put it on the tread area of the tire. And it doesnt work so well with whitewalls.
