Engine Oil

Nasty topic and different strokes for different users.

Conclusion
Stick as close as you can to the manual reccomendation.
Identify if the type of driving you do is severe. If so change your oil and filter more frequently.
Check and top up your oil frequently.
Do not overfill.
Do whatever makes you sleep better at night.

the bike manual recommendation?

Change oil every 10 000km and filter at 20 000km
Oil to use? 20w50 or 20w40. 20w50 is reccomended. Api Sf or Sg rated oils or newer.

My reccomendation?
Use 20w50 or 15w50 only.
Im still figuring out a right change interval but 10 000km is just a plain retarded crazy abuse on 1 L of engine oil.
