Tried to search through but couldn't quite find answers, I have a Honda cbr1000 that was ridden maybe 50 miles a year and I finally changed the oil after 3 years(had rotella t6 in it), the oil came out golden brown, almost new looking, so in this particular case, is it ok to change the oil after 3 years or should it be 1-2 years? Also is it really necessary to change the oil filter or can it just be emptied and reinstalled? I don't mind spending the 8 bucks on a new filter but it seems like such a waste on a almost new purolater P1 filter.
I realize JASO is an important spec but considering I barely ride, can I use a typical auto grade oil and what should I look for? Or just stick to the rotella t6 5w40.
