for me..

if fully syn - 10,000km

if not.. 5000km...

but usually i dont go for fully syn..

The tree-lined avenue

Begins to fade from view

Drowning past regrets

In tea and cigarettes

But I can't seem to forget

When you came along

 

Ingenue, I just don't know what to do

If your bike is not a sportsbike, I guess it is OK to use semi-synthetic or those normal engine oil. However, if it is a sportsbike, best to use fully synthetic. :thumb:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

When I say that you use fully synthetic oil on sportsbikes, I have the thinking that you ride the bike like a sportsbike, not like a kup cai. If you own a sportsbike but ride it slow and steady, then semi-synthetic oil is good enough already... :thumb:

The cheapest 20W50 mineral oil you can find. Change it frequently for the first 1500km, and don't forget to change the filter too.

Please correct me if i am wrong ....

 

Fully syn engine is meant for maximum protection for your pistons and rings at all times. So it means that your piston rings won't be able to sit and fit in properly when its fully protected ....

 

As long as there is lubrication to prevent piston seize, mineral oil will do the trick. Not only does it serves the purpose, it also helps u to save money ... Imagine u change the EO 3 times (average) before the 1500km mark and u are using fully-syn oil all the time ....

Breaking in and running in that time use mineral .....

 

After that fully-syn.
