Hello,
Just wanted to share UOA result. Mostly ridden on highways, and backroads, with minimal stop-and-go traffic.
Currently running on Liqui Moly 4T 5w40 HC Street.
Bought the bike brand new with 1 km on it.
First oil change was at 1224 km at the dealer (Yamalube 10w40 - OEM filter)
Second was at 3519 km (Yamalube 10w40 - OEM filter)
This is the 3rd oil change at 6259 km, which was on Oct 2021. Liqui Moly 5w40 and Fram XG 7317. So far the total mileage is around 8900 km.
I'm not happy with the iron levels, oil weight is also out-of-spec. It looks like it's w30 at 100c.
Will switch back to Yamalube 10w40 and OEM Yamaha filter after using other Liqui Moly 10w40 jug that I bought it on sale. I changed the oil frequently, but will be switching to 5k km OCI going forward.
So my question is: I didn't drain the oil. Should I keep the oil and change it when the bike hits 10k km (ride another 1200 or so km)? Or should I change it now?
Thanks.
