Synthetic fluids for engine (oil) tranny and rear end are typically better quality and perforn better and longer than dino products. The down side is they are detergent and can disolve years of shellac and deposits and can cause leaks as a result.

Use the search function to get an idea of others experiences. I know that GSXR is using Mobil 1 at 10K oil change intervals and has good oil analysis reports to show that 10K is OK for Mobil 1.

The synthetic tranny fluid is much better than dino and will probably work for at least 30K.
