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: 27,154
Miles on oil sample: 3000
Miles on oil filter: 3000
Oil: Texaco Havoline 20W-50 (Current API SL formulation).
Make-up oil added: Approx 5% of total crankcase volume.
Operating conditions: 65F 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.
