I am about to change the oil on my adventure 1200, should i use full synthetic or mineral, i was told that if i had used full synthetic before that i must only use the same oil again and not mineral, i need some advice please on this,  i was also told that topping up with synthetic oil mixed with mineral oil will cause damage to the motor, brearings etc.  Is this true?
