Final word on 1330 oil changes
I've been away for a couple of months and was just wondering what the results for the shearing on the BRP oil at 9,200 miles. I will be changing my oil and filter in the next couple of days. I have about 9,100 miles on the filter and about 4,500 miles on this oil. (I did a drain and fill 1/2 way through the period) I will be sending a sample off for analysis. Going by the last time, it will take 4 weeks for the results to come back .
Amsoil 10W40 Motorcycle Oil
I've used this oil in both my Triumph Rocket III and my current Victory Cross Country without any kind of problems. If anything the Amsoil makes the unit transmissions seem to shift smoother and also quiets down valve train noise. I never had it tested but I routinely go 6000 miles on Amsoil with a filter-only change midway at 3000 miles. Never had a clutch slip or act up once. I also use a WIX filter with the oil changes.
