Beechnut,
My apologies. I didn't know the search engine wouldn't work on "oil". I just discovered to my surprise that the search engine is limited to a minimum of FOUR letters. So try searching "Mobil" and you'll get more than you really wanted with regards to oil threads. Have fun reading!! hehehe

I think a KB oil post would only serve to confuse people as EVERYONE uses a different brand, weight and frequency of change. By the by, I use Motul because a friend's father owns the Ducati dealership on the island. That crap is expensive.

The best oil is SOLID
to aid in bringing some extra weight to my bike...i have found that filling the engine with ball bearings is just as effective as using any kind of oil...including synthetic. Give it a try....

I was sort of expecting this with the different brands, and mileage.
How you're riding the bike and what type of oil certainly affects the life of the oil's properties. The debate of sythetic vs dead dino oil in a bike seems 50/50. I haven't seen any evidence one way or another.
I do know the synthetic is $$$. It pays off if you have a clean, tight, cool running motor and can put lot's of miles on the oil between changes. My yearly mileage is only 6k, so with a 6 month interval I'm only getting 3k on the oil. If I change it 2x in the summer and once in the winter it's even less.
