I changed last time from RP to PP. This time my OLM went to 0%. Since my last change I've spent a lot of time idling and in four wheel drive. I've also added larger tires, which I'm sure is causing the odometer to read a little light.

Glad it's boring. Haha. I did add an aftermarket air intake, and I'm guessing it solved the fuel problem. Still love my Bolt. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. I'm looking at buying a bigger bike in the spring since my wife has decided she loves to ride, but I'll be keeping my Bolt. I'll...

I added in my notes with the sample to Blackstone that I switched to PP.

I forgot to mention that the quart of make up oil was RP 10w30 because they didn't have 5W30 when I stopped by my parts store. Also, the previous oil used in this engine was Castrol Synblend 5W30. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

I really don't know which RP it is. I put it in there last November. Advanced auto had a oil change special for 5 Quarts and a K&N filter for $44, so I just spent it and bought another quart.

Replaced RP with PP 5W30 and Napa Gold filter. Used K&N with RP on last. Plan on running 8,500 like Black Stone suggested.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to go ahead and use it when I change my oil. I bought it when buying oil for my truck. I just happened to glance at the rotella section and saw that T5 that I hadn't seen before, so I decided to try it.

Has anyone tried this in a shared sump motorcycle? I bought a gallon to put in my Yamaha Bolt, but I'm now having second thoughts since I can't seem to find many people using it in motorcycles. I've always used Rotella triple protection 15W40 with good results.

Thanks! Since we're looking at doing extended oil change intervals, I put Mobil 1 5w30 in this oil change. I had planned on using PUP, but my parts store didn't have it in 5w30. I plan on changing this oil at 7,500 miles, and eventually getting to 10,000 mile OCIs.

It's probably 50/50 city and hwy. She lives about 5 minutes from work, and works 7 days on 7 days off. On her off weeks she does a lot of interstate driving. The air filter is pretty new, I looked at it and it looks clean. I think it has about 8k miles on it. That UOA she used Castrol Synblend...

Here's a UOA on my wife's Infiniti JX 35 using Castrol SynBlend. I hope I've posted this right.

Has anyone tried the new T5 15W40 in a motorcycle? I've looked and haven't seen any UOAs. Only find them for the triple protection.

Thanks! I think you're right abut the fuel causing the low flash. I had fuel in the last report and thought it was where my FI was out of sync, but it's definitely been in sync the whole time this oil has been in it, so that can't be it. I guess it's just like that.
