"""""""Darksider #10 It's been said by many people, that I am still only 16 years old inside my head!! LOL!!

Heck no...that would indicate that I only changed my oil & filter every 10,000 miles. Come on...I am a lot smarter than that. I am pretty adament about breaking the engine in right, with more frequent oil changes in the earlier stages of the engine, and finally settling in with oil & filter changes every 5,000 miles. To me, oil & filters are cheap...even when using Mobil 1 and using OEM Honda filters.
You just might qualify for the Guinesus world book of records.
Did that...been in there.....but Guiness no longer lists such timed/distance type events, as of about 10 or so years ago. There are liability issues with maniacs running the streets trying to do blank number of miles, in blank number of hours.

Now, my '03 Wing, that was ridden to over 107K miles in that one year, it had like....20 oil changes done to it during that time. It had 5 oil & filter changes done to it...in one month during that year....May, 2003. 30,681 miles in 30 days.
Wow, that's amazing! A little over 1000 miles a day for 30 days straight! That's quite a feat considering the maintenance along the way!

The maintenance during that month was as much for me, as it was for the bike. I also took the time to mow my 1/2 acre of lawn three times during that same month, and the reasoning for that is because it helped me stay grounded...to keep my head in a sane place, and take the mental break from the road.
Nothing earth shaking and not much skill involved but everything is totally changed from the previous 1800 Wing. Same filter but it is vertical on the bike instead of horizontal. You can't get the old...
Fellow Wingers, it's time for my first oil change on my 2005. Looking for some advice on type of oil and filter. I ran Mobil 1 4t full synthetic in my VTX and fram filter. Not sure what the previous owner...
Planning to do my first oil change on my bike. What oil is everyone else using and what brand of filter?
On my Honda Magna I used Bosch filter and Rotella T 15W-40.
Three weeks ago I changed my oil & filter before going on a 2400 mile trip through the New England states. I added 1 gal of oil and checked it a few times before leaving. When I returned I started...
