the guy at honda said it should be fine since the rings had to to set with runnin the 15/50 the motul shouldnt make a diff.

You should be ok. Motul 3000 is not a synthetic oil. The synthetic oil is Motul 300V.

k well from what a guy from the race shop told me you can go from 15w 50 back to motul with out any problems, and its not even a big deal if you mix them, as long as its a semi synthetic you go back to it should be fine, i am going to change mine just to beon the safe side but from what i've heard its not a big deal
