Lab: Schaeffer's Specialized Lubricants
Engine: 739cc air/oil-cooled four-stroke four-cylinder motorcycle engine with combined transmission and wet clutch.
Miles on engine: 24,100
Miles on oil sample: 3000
Miles on oil filter: 3000
Oil: Shell Rotella T Synthetic [group III] 5W-40 (Current API SL/CH-4 formulation)
Make-up oil added: Approx 5% of total crankcase volume.
Operating conditions: 55F to 100F, mixed high and low speed/RPM, no short trips, moderate idle time
Engine condition/tune: Good overall. Mild knock at startup. Factory jetting, pilot screws 3 turns out (overrich idle). Modified exhaust and airbox, stock air filter element.
