Amsoil sells a filtration sytem to allow up to 100K without changing oil. If using a high quality synthetic the only reason to change oil other than overheating is oil contamination from blow-by or N2O use.

Yea, I didn't that one but I had the one I did 4500 miles on. Oil still had enough stuff to be protective and they recommended me 6000 miles. So I did and wear was fine, this next one coming soon I'm going to see if I can push it any farther (even if I can 6K is a lot)

It really depends on the engine. Running the same oil in other engines I can get nearly 10k but the G is done with it by 6k or so. I wonder how much it has to do with the fact that the other cars have low temperature thermostats and the G is stock.

Real focus should be on using synthetic oils. Avoid conventional oils unless its high mileage oil (contains zinc). Regular conventional oil is contributing to excesssive valve train and cam wear in older vehicles.

Again with the oil. Go to bobs the oil guy and read for a few days, send your used oil in for testing, make changes based on results. Saying you can tell a difference between changes is like saying poweraid makes you run faster than Gatorade.
Kuneff I'm assuming you mean RP throughout not just in the engine for the tranny shifting. Just changing tranny fluid will shift smooth anyway.
As long as you change it you can run wally world brand unless you are racing on a road course it doesn't matter and in that case you better not touch what's on the shelf anyway.

Depending on how much street riding I do compared to track is how I judge my oil changes. The more track time I get in the more often I change my oil.
I had been a die hard believer in Mobil 1 in my bikes until I tried the Royal Purple.

If I remember right my G said in the manual that if your driving mainly highway (which I was) to change the oil every 6,250 miels. I changed mine with Mobil 1 every 5k. No issues, traded her off at 105k miles and still not using any oil...

Oh okay, after thinking about it I figured that was the case. I know nothing about bikes! And it seems there are lots of differences with cars.
I think Mobil 1 is still the best for the money on a street car, unless you can double oil change intervals then the time saved would be worth extra cost. But for racing Redline is the way to go and still cheaper than RP!
