    Default 998 V-Twin Oil Analysis results

    Since I bought my Used '13 RTL and planned on putting on (what for me) would be significant mileage
    (we're not talking Ann and Joe's mileage) I wanted to test the oil I had most access to
    (Castrol Power1 4T 5W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil) over a few oil changes to make sure I'm protecting
    my engine well enough.
    So after ordering filter change kits from BajaRon, oil from Amazon, I tested starting with BRP's Oil,
    then with the Castrol over a period of 4 changes. My final oil analysis after a recent 4800 mile trip,
    I'm satisfied that the Castrol will be effective. For the curious here's the recent results,

    If you have questions about what the numbers mean, here is an explanation:
