RE: New blood
of course, I replace the filter too at every change.
So it looks like a majority uses Full synthetic...I'm not surprised, the difference is so awesome. Repsol shifts as smooth as silk, even a semi-syn doesn't do it for me!

RE: New blood
you know everyone runs these fancy super expensive oils, and i know alot of it is to be better safe than sorry...but i run shell formula rotella T synth (less than 15 bucks for 4 quarters) in my zx6rr...i use to run the regular stuff (the rotella T 15w40 7 bucks for 4 quarts) in my cbr f2, f3, f4, 900rr, 600rr, gsxr750, r6, zx7r, duc 900ss, combined there's probably over 100,000 miles on that oil without any problems, even the oil cooled ducati, my budy has a bmw r80 and he uses the normal rotella also and he's got about 150k miles on that bike alone....the f3, r6, and zx7r were all track bikes i'd say they have about 10k miles each with all those miles spent above 10k rpms and often with ambient track temperatures over 100 degrees i've never ever had a problem with it, i change oil about every 2500 miles with filter
they say you shouldn't use car oil, but this is formulated for diesel trucks and those engines live hard high load lives with very high temperatures (the hotter a diesel the more power you make out of it) and it doesn't have any lubricating additives so there's no problems with the wet clutch slipping...but i feel this topic is still under hot debate, but it's been working for me, so i don't have a problem with it
