1999 Honda ST1100
Water-cooled V4
Shared engine/trans. oil, wet clutch
Comments:
Mobil 1 15W50 EP Gold Cap oil, the SM version
Bosch automotive oil filter
2 stroke oil or MMO as a UCL.
I'm not too worried about the Silicon, I used silicon sealer on the
valve cover gaskets and it may be leaching out a bit?
Wear metals are up a little. It looks like it kept the bearings wet, other than that
nothing too exciting. I put in Redline 15W50 this time. I need to clear out some of the left-over
oils that I have laying around.
