oil .. filter ...oil & filter change

Guys

My 748R has, and will continue to be, garaged for the winter. I was thinking that in spring it might be prudent to freshen the sump up a little.

How many of you do your own intermediate oil & filter changes and how frequently?

Cheers

if its sat in the garage over winter I drain it of.

I change my oil and filter every 3000 miles.

After every track day, and every 1000 miles on the road

madmav · 15-Jan-2005, 18:05

every 2000mls

..and do you use the Shell oil as per the factory?

No
I use 15 50 weight as recommended by Nelly.

Thanks for reminding me, i need to get some ordered from him.

I will be running it in the 998 and 748 this year and think every 2 trackdays for the 748 and every 1500 miles for the 998 on the road.

every 3000mls new fully synth silkolene, every 6000 oil and filter

Motul 300v every 1500 miles, its a proper synthetic.

A 60 weight oil does not sound like a good idea, thicker is not better neccesarily.
