I was using a frankenbrew of various leftover & clearance oils I had laying around...mostly 10w-40 MC oils (maxima coventional & synblend), some 10w-40 ATV oil (Maxima conventional), some 15w-40 HDEO (Supertech) which was augmented with some Castrol 10w-40 synthetic MC oil; was doing great over the last 2 OCI's (1500-2000 miles) to use up the stash...started having an issue where downshifting into 1st gear was becoming difficult; dumped the brew (@ 1250 miles) and grabbed a cheap PCMO to flush out the sump (if it continued then I would be doing a clutch inspection/adjustment)...well the Smitty's Super S 10w-40 synblend PCMO has been great for nearly 1000 miles! filter used for all of this is a HiFlo Filtro HF 204 that has been in service for almost 5000 miles...planning another oil change in a few days with a new filter for the rest of my riding season & winter storage...thinking Vslvoline 10w-40 conventional MC oil or 15w-40 Rotella conventional HDEO
now what to do with 2 + gallons of frankenbrew?!? I guess I'll see if my favorite MC shop wants it for their use (they resurrect older neglected bikes and use cheap oil for flushing) or just take it for recycling since I do not have any OPE to use it in!
