After 43 years of storage, BSA 500 Goldstar B50SS Return to Flight with two changes of cheap Rotella T4 (15-40), then changed to Castrol Actevo 20W-50 syn blend.

OK - I have been working on it for the last three years.

What does that have to do with his oil change? Distrust of the dealer for doing the work?

From IPONE 0W30 Katana Scoot to Redline 10W30 Motorcycle oil

That was less than a month on that oil. Did you run that long to require a change or was the ipone oil giving you issues?

Doing every day 60-80km not less
Change to redline just for the higher HTHS, weather here on Athens/Greece start getting hotter
No issues with IPONE oil.
On that small motor without oil filter (just an oil screen) and 800ml oil amount, I change it every month.

No, I did not but do trust the shop……St. Louis Gateway BMW. The service manager is pretty detailed and I’ve known him for about 25 years.

1982 Yamaha Seca XJ750:
Out: 15w40 HDEO that was in for rehabbing the bike. The bike was in great shape other than 20 years of sitting.
In: HiFlo filter, 20w50 Castrol GTX conventional. Bike is a great runner.

1983 Honda Nighthawk CB550SC, free rehab project from the local motorcycle repair shop. It's a rough looking project for sure.
Out: whatever the heck oil was in there for the last 15 to 20 years as it sat in some guy's garage. It was black after starting up and idling a bit before draining. Old filter looked good. No way to fully warm it up at this point but fresh oil was definitely in the cards.

In: HiFlo filter, Valvoline 20w50 conventional MC oil. This is sacrificial oil from a closeout sale. Once it's on the road, after a few rides will change it to clean out more old oil. Fully rebuilt/cleaned and sync'd the carbs, need front caliper rebuild kit to arrive and new turn signals as well before its maiden ride.
