Well done for locating this site! I dont want to rain on your parade, but isnt this an even better buy from the same shop? I believe Silkolene is supposed to be amongst the best oil, but dont 'racing' oils get changed quite frequently, so might not be up to annual or umpteen thousand mile change intervals?

Does the fully synth gear oil not get past the seals like the engine oil would ?

Both of our bikes have synthetic engine oil and it doesn't get past any seals. Both also have synthetic gear oil and that seems to stay in the box too.
