Just changed my first Unicorn oil out of the bike, - I usually use Shell Full Synthetic.
I was surprised to find that there is significantly less debris in the old oil with Unicorn. It's been so long since I used anything else, that i don't know if this is normal between full and semi syn oils, or if it's a mark of Unicorn's qulaity, but it's making me think some of my fears can rest easier.
It get's dirty quicker, but Unicorn is a much lighter coloured oil anyway, so that might have something to do with it, - wasn't as dark as it seemed once I poured it out either.
Viscosity looks better on the Shell after 6,000km, gear shifting is marginally better with the Shell as well, I'd say, but otherwise looking like Unicorn is as good or better in the other areas I pay attention to.
I have a year's supplied, so I'll add my two cents worth in another few months, after 5-6 changes. <i></i>
