how many miles do you change your oil

[Hellgate]

Okay Irish, not just one oil question in a post but three???? I know you are sorta new, not really anymore, but there are members here who will have you draw and quartered, tarred and feathers, knee capped and few other lovely rewards for such a post. Now if this is an honest set of questions, well okay, if you are trying to start Oil War 5 that is a totally different story.

Oil is such a loathed topic that there was discussion in the mod section on banning all oil related topics, well not really, but close.

Point being, know the pain points of the Forum. If you really can't find the information by all means ask, other wise, please use the seach feature. Or feel the wrath of J.

So go make some cool footpegs.

I WONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT OIL AGIAN but i was trying to search for some oil threads and my search wasint working, i dont even have a search anymore on my screen, i was going to ask if this happend to anyone els? it was their yeaster day and to day no more search option. all i wanted to know is what weight every one is using 10 30w 10 40w? and how many miles i could go with synt oil? i know how many with regular oil, but wanted to see the diffents.

p.s. Did you just become a amsoil dealer or what? I've read a few posts over the last hour and it seems amsoil is your favorite topic. lets see, you spend $35-40 just on oil for every 1000 miles you ride? Ride much?

the reason i was going to change my oil every 1,000miles is because it still new with only 1,500miles and wanted to get out all of the shavings befor they started to put wear on my engine. i wont contue to change every 1,000 as time gose on. i am not that much of a baller lol.

I change my oil every 6000 km & use Motul 5100 10W40 semi synthetic. I pay $60 for 4 litres of the Motul. Such a small price to pay for my peace of mind.

I use honda synthetic blend oil- makes my Yamaha faster!

Owners manual says to change at 4K miles, works for me.
