I'd like to start this thread to gather empirical evidence for the great CBR250R oil discussion. Who's willing to test their oil so we can have some empirical data for discussions?
Sendler recently mentioned testing 5W-30 for the low revs, super mileage crew, surely he'll share his data.
I'd be willing to test my AMSoil 10W-30 advanced synthetic motorcycle oil for the fat kid with track aspirations crew.
If we have good participation, what data points should we gather?
I think basic rider stats, riding style and the test results for mileage intervals that we standardize. We could do 0, 1000, 3000 and then 6000 or the test interval recommended by the laboratory. I don't like paying for the unused oil test unless we think it is a useful data point. I think 1,000 miles lets the oil settle closer to how it will be throughout the test.
So, what do you say?
