How much does it cost to change engine oil filter?? And also any of you guys and girls using fully synthetic??

 

$8, can be gotten cheaper too. For long term use, its better to go for fully synthetic engine oil. Fully synthetic eo can last longer than semi eo too. Not to forget that the former can take more abuse than the latter.

When you say last longer, it simply means the fully synthetic oil will be less filthy than semi-synthetic right? Does that equate to more km without oil change?

 

And what's the use of oil filter for? Making sure the engine oil is free from impurities?

Fully Synthetic > Semi Synthetic > Mineral

So for example: 3000>2000>1000

U can ride more mileage on fully Synthetic.

Any filter is to trap so oil filter no less different.

With oil filter bikes compared w/o oil filter bikes u can ride longer mileage before changing oil.

As for ratio of recommended change is 2 EO change : 1 oil filter change.

But different riders differ.

Some base on budget. Some dun bother to change at all. Some at all cost. Some base on time.

Every EO got different rating.

According to Service Manual recommended is 20W40 or 20W50/

EO too long in bike never use also problem.

 

I use AGIP 10W40. Rather smooth.

Thats either you used to high vicosity eo or your current eo lubrication ability is used/worn out. Need to change

 

Recommend EO for X1R is 10W 40 or 10W 50. Imo 10W 40 is just nice.

Limbatt do have HIR and HID. Will require conversion kit.

Higher price and not legal and drain the battery.

Yeah but the both the other alternatives are so ex ><. hir bulb t_t.>

Hid worse.

 

I feel it's only slightly brighter ah dk if you feel the same, but the angle of the light projected is higher than stock.

So when I high beam it rly shoots into car's mirror lol.

 

but ever since my magneto coil broke down all my bulbs burst alrd,

mech changed to some stock bulb but it's 25w too. Which is probably less than 10 for 2 bulbs.
