My 2009 TRX4 has lifetime oil changes from the Dealer, they use a synthetic blend. I got tired of driving 20 miles to the dealer and waiting several hours so I decided to do my own. I asked one of the mechanics there why they went to a synthetic blend. He told me it opened up the recommended mileage from 3 to 5k. I then asked him what about pure synthetic and he claimed it was more prone to leaks and not worth the extra money.
Since I've been doing my own I use NAPA's gold synthetic blend and filter every 3500 to 5k miles depending on what I'm doing.
