Blackstone Comments:
Two years? Psh! Piece of cake. Wear metals have continued to improve and there aren't any signs
here that the oil is suffering, or breaking down due to the longer oil run. The viscosity was fine, the TBN was
plenty strong at 4.6 and no fuel, water, or other contamination was found. We see no problems with an
11,000-mile oil run next time, if you're interested. Even if it takes three or four years, that should be just fine
for this Honda. Nice report!

Refilled with Mobil 1 Motorcycle 4T 10w-40 (9.99/qt at Wal-Mart), and a Mobil 1 M-108 filter.
I'm no longer an Amsoil dealer, since they screwed with the way commision is paid. Great oil though. I just think there are other oils out there that can go for long OCIs as well.
Plan on going another 2 years/ 12-13k as soon as I can get a comparison on how this Mobil 1 stacks up with the Amsoil with a VOA.
What do you guys think? Is this Mobil 1 as good as the Amsoil?
