great post - why not sticky?
great post - why not sticky?
Agree - stickying this might go some way to avoid all the noob "what oil?" questions. I found it by searching "oil" in FOAW (and reckon that it's probably the most helpful oil article I've found on here), but it'd be even easier to find if it was stickied at the top; some folk may not bother searching - new tossers popping up all the time, no?
Either way, thanks to OP for posting those many moons ago.
Many Many years ago….
I got advice for my then new R1100GS from the head of BMW motorcycles (U.K.) was NOT to use synthetic oil, not because it was bad, but the exact opposite, that it was far too efficient and the bike would take longer to run in.
I know thing have moved on but it still amuses me.
