    Yes its a honda they run on dirt, not so with the high class whore I got.

    high rpm don't hurt oil one bit, most severe service on oil is short trips that don't allow oil to completely vaporize contaminates and lugging the engine

    So, here is my next question, What weight do you all use? 5w-40? I was going to go with Motorex POWER SYNT 4T

    10w-40 4t. Why would you use a lighter oil for hot temps and high RPM?

    Re: Oil change after trackdays

    So glad I did a change at 2,500 miles and 2 trackdays.... Huge difference in shifting. Would rather spend the $ more more frequent changes (I will probably do one even sooner after the next track days) for major increase in performance

    get a motard, then you can change it every time you flog it, so you'll never forget.
