QUOTE(paskal @ Aug 7 2022, 05:34 PM) Nope. So you go by mileage and not time? I very rarely go out these days due to COVID, so my bike's just sitting at home and would only hit about 1k km per 6 months, was wondering myself when should I toss the Mizu oil out given that it's stated on the back of the container it should be changed every 3 months.The oil is still smooth to over 5k. I changed at 5k. The bike have factory OCI set at 16000km/1 year. Takes 4l oil so OCI is quite long. |

There was an 8 8 deal yesterday where they gave 50% on the 15W50 fully synthetic oil, managed to nab a bottle.

QUOTE(paskal @ Dec 9 2024, 07:34 AM) Even when using mineral oil, changing every 1k is too much. Are you still on the Mizu?For low rpm bikes like a kapcai, using mineral oil is ok for 3k or 4k unless you feel it's getting rougher or noisier or clunky when changing gears then change the oil. I sometimes use mineral oil for my kapcai and it can last for 5k. Fully synthetic for my big bike sometimes after 3k it's already rough when engine is hot. So I change it. Most people don't really follow manufacturer guideline and change the oil more frequently than the rated 10,000km/16,000km interval Just done 3k km on the fully synthetic 10W40 and did oil change, gear change now feels a lot smoother again. Past 2k km, quick, consecutive gear change kinda always result in the clutch/gear being stuck and needing a little throttle before I can change gear again, usually happens when I go from 6-1 when I stop at traffic light. Used to happen even during my kapchai day, not sure if it has anything to do with oil. |
