VR-1 Synthetic 15W-40, 3016miles BMW R1200R

[ammolab]

I ran this 50/50 mix of VR-1 Synthetics (10w/30 and 20W/50) for 3000 miles as that is what I did for the M1 TDT 5W/40 shown earlier on the report. This seems like a good oil for my use and I have the same mix in there now. I may run this oil for the full mfgs. 6000mile OCI this time.

Looks really good to me, especially for a newish motor. This is what I'm running in my Guzzi, except straight 20w50. Looks like I lucked up and make a good choice. Maybe I'll mix in a quart of 10w30 for my winter blend.

i just love the SILVER that is in most of the stoner reports.
wtheck?

lead and copper i would have expected to be lower. especially the lead.

very nice filtration on silicon at 4!

flash 410 is good
68.1 is a tick into the 30wt

no reason to change anything...ever!
