Yes, I use synthetic oil in my bike.  Typically, it costs me more to change
the oil in the motorcycle than my car.  The oil and filter alone for my
bike is around $50.  I have always done my own oil changes on both vehicles
and bike.

I just had to add another can of A/C coolant to my system in my car.  It
has apparently had a small leak for a few years.  I have to add a can about
every 5 months.  There is dye in the system, but have yet to spot the leak.
 There are some parts of the system that are not easy to see, so that is
probably where the leak is.  Not a major thing to put a can in every 5
months, though.  If I do find the leak depending on where it is, it still
might not be worth fixing until it gets worse.
