[QUOTE="radman, post: 54075, member: 167"] Look guys, here's the deal. I change oil maniaclly, in the feej, for a couple reasons, and I do so well before the "recommended" interval, something I swear these jokers pull outta the air or their hat or sumpin. 1) The FJR is prone to fuel dilution, the more cold starts, the worse it is, and 2) The FJR, like a lot of scoots, share duty with the tranny on engine oil. Engine dilutes engine oil with fuel, tranny shears engine oil which has been diluted into useless shit. Some IBA guys go for ages on the oil, but they are never shuttin it off, and besides, they can run peanut butter and honey for all I care, Frank gets the best, gets it often, 16,500 and no ticky and no rattle and this is typical for my motors. Do it your way, I don't care any more than the for the effort it takes to write this. The argument on oil and what to use and when to do it goes on endlessly, hence the creation of the Endless Argument Hole. Everybody's got the hot skinny on this, fo sho..... :) [/QUOTE]
