| The Spam man | i change my oil every few months. sometimes every month. i dont see any need to change it so constantly. the oil usually still looks pretty healthy when i change it. and i use high quality oil (mobil 1, or promix) besides, it doesnt get beat any more than the lawnmower, and we change it every spring.

| Administrator | It gets beat when you ride hard. For example racing. Even if you are using synthetics I would still recommend frequent oil changes. ![]()

| Administrator | When I ride, I ride from 7:00AM - 5:00PM. 10 hours of riding takes it out of you. Now, how many of those hours are actually engine hours, I do not know. I know that on my RM-Z250 the oil change was supposed to happen every 15 which was the same time you were supposed to change the rings.
