Oil change

[monsterspeedfreak]

How many miles do you go between oil changes.
I'm doing every 2000 miles......to long or no???

 

[The Oracle]

I am planning to do recommended... What is that like 4000 or so? Dunno yet, have under 2K miles on 'er.

I change it every 5,000. Mostly highway miles going to San
Francisco everyday to work. I run out at the lake every Saturday/Sunday for some fun. I use Motul synthetic. Seems
to really last a good while.

Our Acura dealer uses pure synthetic in our '02 TL, and they insist that oil change isn't necessary sooner than 7,500 miles each time. Now, I know bike trannies are a bit more needy, so perhaps 5k - 6k if highway...

Every 3,000 for the oil every 6,000 for the filter.

i go about 2000 miles between changes.

i go by the owner manual

On break in (dino) 500, 1200, (synth) 2000, 4000 then from there it depends on how hard it is ridden. The transmission actually lets you know when you should change it. I notice a difference when I shift. As soon as I start to feel it I change the oil. This usualy comes between 3500-4000. If it starts earlier, I change it earlier. It's better to change it earlier, if you think something feels different than not and pay a higher price later.

Later,

I have been going every 2500, 8000 miles and a little today.
Dropping it this morning again.( The oil !!)
It is amazing how fast it can get dirty.
But I live in a extremely dusty place.
Lots of tractors running the roads, kicking it up.

I change oil after every 2 races, filter every 4 races.

 

[Jack]

Oil & filter every 2,000 miles. Personally don't understand leaving a filter full of dirty oil on bike if I'm changing oil?:rock:

 

[vincent]

Every 2k miles. Both oil and filter. Judging by appearance of oil I could go a bit longer but enjoy the peace of mind

 

[CorrodedAlien]

When I feel like it... Not greater than 4k miles.... Sooner as said above, when the shifting does not feel right...
