I'm not suprised. One Porsche repair place I know was very disappointed in the wear he found in engines with only 40,000 miles using Mobil 1.

From the Amsoil site: "4. AMSOIL Dealers or Preferred Customers who are owners of a separate non-AMSOIL business may have their business become a Commercial/ Retail Account with their sponsor as the Servicing Dealer."

Dealers can have Commercial and Retail Accounts. He just can't sell it to himself.

It costs alot more for labor on the extra 98 oil changes. Figure at least $10 labor per change = $980 more dollars on the conventional. If it cost him an hour of lost productivity and he only made $10 an hour, another $980. Plus if he drove this much for some type of business, the Commercial...

Amsoil Synthetic Severe Gear Lube is available in 75W90, 75W110, and 75W140 and is Mil-Prf-1205E. Might be worth a try.

Here is how Amsoil suggests changing ATF fluid. http://www.amsoil.com/faqs/ATF_and_Filter_Change_Procedures.pdf .

Titan - which bike do you have? Did you use the 10W40 motorcycle or car oil? What was the final viscosity?

I found this info at http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/maintain/answer.php?automatic_transmission1.html . "As a rule of thumb, every 20 degree increase in operating temperature above 175 degrees F. cuts the life of the fluid in half! At 195 degrees F., for instance, fluid life is reduced to 50,000...

I think just as many people are as interested in the 900,000 mile transmission. I think transmissions fail more often than engines.

They accidently put Mobile 1 labels on it.

It seems particle size analysis is useful in predicting engine wear. Seems like this should be done along with quantitative/qualitative analysis of the metals to be more useful. How much more does a particle size analysis add to the price of an oil analysis?

According to this paper http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3981584.html , bypass filtration could skew the results. Anybody know if oil samples are filtered before wear metals are analyzed, and if so, the particle size analyzed? Lots of people see metal particles on their full flow filters when...

If the wear metals are large enough to be captured by a bypass filter, I'd rather have them out of the oil. Not sure this is the case though.

Pretty good. Especially for those using or considering using an API SM, CJ4 or non-JASO oil in their motorcycles. "You should always use a motorcycle oil in a motorcycle, especially one that meets the required specification, such as the JASO-MA or MB and others, since the motor oil has in most...

Full synthetic Amsoil HP Injector retails at $6.95 per quart.

Now if Harley would finally do the same thing in their touring bikes.

To keep the Amsoil warranty, I'd suggest a used oil analysis at 6K. It will likely tell you to extend to 10K. I personally go 12K on my BMW K1200LT.

I have lots of Gold Wing customers running this same combination. They take it 16,000 miles or once a year whichever happens first. What does Kawasaki recommend for an oil change interval? Double it with Amsoil and their free warranty.

Your numbers are incorrect. You are changing one of your Amsoil changes at only 7500 miles each year and included the cost of 2 Amsoil filters for that short interval. Amsoil Preferred Customer cost for 8 years is $120 when you sign up for 10 years. 910,000 miles divided by 35,000 mile OCI =...
