I am a newby to motorcycles & I recently bought a used 2008 Buell Blast w/ @ 1300 miles; I had a full service done at a Harley Davidson/Buell dealer; engine & primary fluids changed & replaced w/ Harley-Davidson 'Screaming Eagle' 20w-50 Syn 3 oil; I have a few ???'s
1) I read on the internet that Citgo is the manufacturer...true or false?
2) I was told that service intervals are extended from @ 2500 miles to @ 5000 miles by dealer since the oil is 'synthetic'...would you go 5000 miles between oil/primary fluid changes?
3) whenever I check oil level with engine warmed up (per the owners manual) I see bubbles on the dipstick...what causes this & is it common?
4) I was told to expect some oil usage & to have extra oil available...is it okay to get something else like Mobil 1, Castrol Edge, or Royal Purple (20w-50 motorcycle oil) or buy the same H-D Syn 3?
thanks
