OK I would think that this would have been a beaten topic

but didn't see anything when I searched it. Maybe I suck at searching!
Thought this might be a useful topic for newer riders. What are everyone's thoughts to be advantages to Synthetic oil changes vs. conventional? Why stick with conventional over switching to synthetic and so forth. Just basically what are everyone's opinions.
The main advantage that I have heard is that you don't have to be as precise with oil changes. That Full Synthetic oil will last longer compared to conventional oil.
