   Yes, I use synthetic oil in my bike.  Typically, it costs me more to change   
   the oil in the motorcycle than my car.  The oil and filter alone for my bike   
   is around $50.  I have always done my own oil changes on both vehicles and   
   bike.   
      
   I just had to add another can of A/C coolant to my system in my car.  It has   
   apparently had a small leak for a few years.  I have to add a can about every   
   5 months.  There is dye in the system, but have yet to spot the leak.  There   
   are some parts of the system that are not easy to see, so that is probably   
   where the leak is.  Not a major thing to put a can in every 5 months, though.    
   If I do find the leak depending on where it is, it still might not be worth   
   fixing until it gets worse.
