I thought this would be my worst UOA and turns out the best.
About 70% interstate, recording the longest run of hot oil temps ever. Wasnt uncommon to be in the 250 to 265 range. Temps are hottest on the interstate @ 80 MPH (gps) and stuck in traffic.
Typical summer riding, 1 week up in the mountains, 2 up, packed with luggage, Maggie Valley, Tail of the Dragon, Maryville TN, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg.
Then on the flip side, many day trips to the beach. 2 hours each way on 80 MPH interstate, scorching hot riding in beach traffic I felt I cooked the oil the most ever, but, of course, it didnt matter.
I DO have a Lenale engine fan for the stuck in traffic part and it does stabilize the oil temp, though I only use it as a last resort as it cooks your leg, after oil, the heat has to go someplace.
Only other thing was the different oil filter this time, used a non HD filter for the first time, brand was a HiFlo and posted in the oil filter section.
