Oil change after trackdays

[theducman]

I am going to NJMP in Aug. I will be swaping out my pp 2ct to the pures and changing the oil. My question is, since I will be at the track for two days, should I change my oil when I get back home?

How old is the oil in there now? I change my oil every 4 track days

[theducman]

Not that old maybe 2k or 2500 miles since the 7500 valve adjustment

[Jim]

i change my street bikie's oil every 3k, and my track bike's oil every 4 days. i would say you should change your oil after 2500 miles & 2 track days.

So you change your oil after 100 laps?

But correct me if im wrong, doesnt Synthetic oil last for like 8,000 miles?

You tend to ride your bike harder and higher in the RPMs on the track than you do in the street, so you'll have to change it a little more frequently.

full or semi-synthetic?

either way, it doesnt matter. i change my track bike every 4 track days with full synthetic. wait for some more suggestions, but i'm guessing the majority will answer with change it after

[Femmekat]

Good to know... I was gonna go 3,000 on full synthetic but am at 2,500 with 2 trackdays... Guess I'd better do it sooner rather than later...

I change my oil prior to and immediately after even a one day at the track. I view changing the filter as a per-situation decision but typically changed every other oil change.

[Jim]

bergs, i highly doubt he'll be riding his bike as hard as you do on the track.

[butcher bergs]

Just sayin'.

This is with a street bike so my post was based on street miles prior to track time. The race bike, however, is handled a bit differently.

there's no such thing as changing your oil too often.

Mike, this is your first full trackday, right? I wouldn't worry about it, if it were me I wouldn't change it before and after two days. However, it's your money, if you want to, it won't hurt anything.

Yes it will be. I talked to a few people and taking into consideration of what was said here on the board, I think when I get back I will do the oil cchange. By the time the trackdays roll around I will prob have 3000 or 3500 miles since the valve adjustment. The other Mike (ducatimichael) on born said he would give me a hand doing it.

Run car oil Sythetic helps to allow the cutch to Slip.....

[union]

Personally Id change it. Even though it probably doesnt need it, its a few bucks for some peace of mind. My race bike gets oil and filter after each weekend.

Can you clarify this suggestion?

Are you encouraging not running a bike specific oil to prompt clutch slippage?

yes....i was trying to make a Funny...not that we need another Oil thread...

[TTD]

Agreed.

(so..just to clarify for any newbie riders out there. A clutch that is "slipping" is not a "slipper clutch")

[theducman]

Not looking to start an oil thread war, I know how thoes are on the ducati boards. But thank you for input everyone.

[G21forme]

If it was me I would change it before the TD and then maybe 1000 miles after, but that's just me .

When I did my first track days on the 900RR two years ago, I had 2000 miles on the oil when I did the track day and ride over 1500 more afgtr I did a two-day event.

Two years and 5000 miles later, it's still running like perfectly at just over 33000 miles. But, of course, it's a Honda.
