Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Which Oil to use?

Amsoils recommended change interval for their Motorcycle oil is twice the manufacturers recommended change interval. My manual has the recommended change interval at 4000 miles. If your manual says 6000 miles then you can run the oil for 12000 miles and still be within Amsoils warranty. I would change the filter every 6 months or 6000 miles. Under severe operating conditions I would only run the bike to 8000 miles, and change the filter at 4000 miles.

Currently I just change my oil once a year and change the oil filter every 6 months. In almost 3 years I only have 10,500 miles on my bike.
