Oil Change how often with Mobil 1 4T Synthetic?

[RUQWKNF27]

Previous owner always run Honda GN4 Reg. Oil with Suzuki Filter and changed every 1000-1500 miles. That oil change with Filter was $30.00

I am going to run Mobil 1 with Wix filter and was wondering the interval?

Well it depends on your tune and the type of tires you run

 

[dadofthree]

I think the maintenance schedule calls for 3500 miles on dino, I've always heard full synthetic doubles that. Your bike ; somewhere between 3500 and 7000 miles

Do you ride easy and commute in light traffic or stay around 10K RPM s 90% of the time.

I change every 250 miles, or twice a year, whichever comes first.

 

[RUQWKNF27]

I never see 10k hardly I ride easy with short bursts of
Speed.

Oil is cheap insurance is my mantra
I change mine every 3-4k and use oem filter.

...with Wix filter and was wondering the interval?

Does Wix make a Suzuki filter with the oddball threads, or did you buy one of those adapters to convert to Honda/Yamaha/Kawasaki style filters?

If you use car tires you can change it half as often.

i use the mobil 1 in mine i change it every 4 to 5k

I never see 10k hardly I ride easy with short bursts of

Then why do you want to use Mobil 1?

If you ride easy most of the time, Dino oil will work fine IMO.

Which ones?? I bet Nitto Drag Radials would look bad arse

once a year, usually around memorial day weekend. actually, both bikes and all cars are once a year (very, very rarely exceed 5,000 miles/year in anyone of them)

I try to do mine every 5K. I use Amsoil SYN but am thinking about going to Mobil One. Either way I think every 5K will work

+1 on the advice. Every 4k miles for me, but with a K&N filter

 

[RUQWKNF27]

I just pulled the wix filter part number off the filter
Thread I assume it will thread right onto nipple! Lots of wise
Cracks in here but still not as bad as HD forum.

usually around 5k and i use the oem filter... i like factory filters on bikes they just seem to last longer

 

[Dennis]

Actually mine wasn't a wisecrack. 250 miles is about 200 passes down the 1/4 mile including shutdown and return road.

How do you know they last longer? I use OEM too because I've seen enough filter studies that I'm not sure which brand is a good option.

About the same as a Shinko???
