Oil change

Post by doobie »

When would you say it's best to do an oil change kilometre wise on a ZXR-750? Or oil top ups?

Cheers for any help

I change my oil and filter at bout every 5,000kms or close to. ;)
I also try and change oil and filter after any big ride. It's part of my wash and polish procedure, but that's me. :) :)
I changed oil and filter after Supers - and I've just changed the oil and filter after the Halls Gap run, which was bout 2,300kms. I use Motul 5100. I never change the oil without changing the filter as well.
You can never do too many oil and filter changes imho, nor can you change it too often! ;)

Thanks a lot for the quick feedback.

I did my last around 2,000km's ago and i haven't topped up since. Would it be worthy topping it up a bit now? I'm getting it changed at the mechanic next thursday, it was just such a pain to do it mess free and get rid of the oil at home.
