Oil in HOT weather
On my ride from Precott, AZ to Vegas I rode through what must have been Hell (Bullhead City, AZ). When I got to Vegas and was fueling the oil light came on for a brief time. From Vegas to Reno I noticed a kind of clicking sound that increased and decrease with RPMs. A quart of oil made the noise go away.
Can riding through that hot of weather burn up your oil? Would synthetic oil have held up better?
