Oil threads make me (and a lot of others) crazy!Exactly!! You said it better than I could have. Thanks.
We keep hearing "never had a problem" testimonies........... Has anyone ever had an oil related engine failure?? Never had a problem because no one has ever had a problem....or have they?
Seems to me "motorcycle" specific oil is 90% marketing. If you read all the "research" most of us come to the conclusion that there are dozens of oil products (almost any) that will work just fine.
There are literally hundreds of different oil labels out there. Do you really think they produce that many "different" products. Don't cave into all the marketing crap. Do some reading, go with what makes you comfortable. It's all good.
Change the stuff regularly and ride the thing.
JMHO

I would imagine if you never changed your oil, it would be 30-40K... maybe more... before you'd ever have an oil related failure. Would damage be occurring during that time? Sure... but I bet the engine & tranny would still be functioning without issue.
Just a guess though. Anyone wanna try it in the name of science?
