RotaryGod has been using Synth Oil in all his rotaries for 7 years without any problems

Racing Beat and alot of other Rotary Specialist all use Synth Oil w/o Problems.

Me, got my First Rotary for almost 3 months, cant say for sure but, I did 2 of my oil change with Quakers State Advance Q Full Synth Oil 5w20.

Just like some other post might have said, people might just abuse their Rotary, Put Synth oil in, but the problem is still there so their Rotary dies, then they blame the oil.
