Hey all,
While riding into work this morning I realized it's been about 6,000 miles (and 2 years!) since the last oil change on my bike. I'm running Mobil 1, full syn (I forget the viscosity), with a K&N oil filter. Oil color isn't quite "black" but is getting there. Level is perfect.
I called the local bike shop and they only sell Amsoil. I run Mobil 1 in all my vehicles, but need to change the oil in the bike TODAY. Is this something I should consider (with the Amsoil) or should I check Pep Boys for Mobil 1?
I live here in PA and ride in spring, summer, and fall. The coldest I ride is 30*, the warmest has been 102*. I do take the bike to the drag strip once or twice a year. It's used 95% as a daily commuter/weekend cruiser. Nothing crazy. It seems 10w40 is recommended for the bike. Does that sound right for my environment and driving style?
Thanks!
