Hi guys,
Darrin made a couple of nice points about oil that I should address:
When I change oil and filter (warm) I get pressure in 15 to 20 seconds at a
dead slow idle. Why? All the oil hasn't drained back so the pump and
passages are still primed. Also, there is a lot of residual oil laying about
the cams and such so they aren't starved for a short while. That is why you
want to change oil with the motor warm and not after sitting overnight or
longer.
Petroleum oil hold particles in suspension just fine,,, they have
"detergent" additives.
The petroleum auto oil will lube the tranny just fine for 1000 to 1500 miles
before being chopped up by the gears. I don't want to made everyone paranoid
but guess what??? Synthetics get chopped up too,,, just at a little slower
rate .
A while back I saw a article (MCN I think) about a guy with a 900cbr he
commutes with. Had some UnGodly amount of miles on the thing (something like
150,000 or 200,000).
Engine oil??? 79 cent castrol GTX changed every 1,000 miles. Far as I know
the bike still going.
