How often (mileage) are you guys changing your oil. I know the old 3 grand for cars is pretty much in stone for us over 25 crowd (programmed by parents haha)

I hear 5k sometimes or people still do every 3k on bikes, but not sure , trying to get a consensus , let me know what you guys are doing.

GO HONDA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a 65,500 mile bike since new, i suppose i am less fussy about oil changes now, starting off with the recommended 6000 mile servicing (all done by main agent) to now between 6000-10000 miles.(some DIY some by local shop) with filter change of course, engine still purring like new ( albeit i 've got some carb problems see other posting) mechs going to replace the airfilter first to see if this cures it.

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

yeah already read your carb issue posting
thanks for the fast response, I have been doing the 6k thing and she's been fine with it then again I bought it at 1600 miles
changed it at 4k (just in case guy lied about the maintenance ;) (trust no one haha) , then I am at 10k now so it's about fairing popping time for a change.
Thanks, I'll look for a few more replies but 6k sounds like my marker

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

You guys are speaking in miles right? I heard something about 8000KM which is about the same as 6000 miles i suppose right

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

ok that's 2 for 6000 miles ,
NEED MORE REPLIES DANG YOU HONDISH PEOPLE

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

i change mine every 3,5k to 4k. just runs better. mental thing.

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

I change mine every 3-4000kms, just like having fresh oil in there. It doesn't cost much if you do it yourself.

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

I agree with the above. The more often you do it, the better. As with my cars, I don't go over 3K miles on an oil change if I can help it.

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

so 3-4000 KM or MILES?

RE: Oil change/Filter change interval
 

from what i've read as well as using blackstone lab results...

no more than 2800 if you're using dino oil.
bike oil, change at 3-4K...and synthetic, 3-5K.
