I seem to be losing about a half quart every 3k miles. Seems to be coming out the overflow, and spitting at my air filter. I keep adding to the full line and checking about every other tank of gas or so. This much coming out the overflow normal?
Im running M1 20/50 full synthetic in my engine and primary.
I am sure it is on here somewhere - but, what type of oil do you recommend?
Steve: are you adding to the full hot point with the engine cold?if so your over filling i never go above 5/8 the up the stick with the engine cold
Eagle:i know you directed your question to glider but heres what i think
my choice is MOBIL 1 20w-50 v-twin oil, now there are ALLOT of synthetic motorcycle oils out there that are just as good like Spectro is great maybe better or Lucus,AMS oil,royal purple the main reason i stick with mobil1 is because its easy to find if i get far away from home and need 1/2 a quart of oil as long as i can find a wal-mart or a auto-zone i can get my oil....although any of the oils mentioned above will mix and lub your engine just fine ...so if you were running spectro and needed a little oil and topped it off with AMS oil i don't think you would have hurt a thing but i like to stick with one brand just my opinion lol
