well, if you were me, you'd put in oil in the winter, and then leave
it there for the first 3000 or so miles next summer.  sitting for 3
months won't harm it.  or if you insist on draining and tossing it in
the spring, then put in regular old non-synth oil, at $1.50/qt.  synth
and non-synth _can_ be mixed, and you'll be draining most of the
non-synth anyway.

but putting all that aside, the mobil one tri-synth is a very good
oil, and certainly appropriate to use year-round in your triumph.
