Hey Guys
I have a 1995 PC800 that I bought new. After it was broken in with whatever Honda put in it when I bought it I drained it it out and went with Mobil 1 Red Cap 15W-50 and for the next 87,000 miles (so far) it still running fine. Using no oil between changes as always. Now then, this other guy has a 1994 PC that he got a few months before I got mine and has used Hondaline Oils in it since new changing it at 8,000 miles and his bike is now according to him burning oil enough that between changes that he now has to add at least a quart or more between changes. He claims that because I change mine more often with a synthetic oil that should not have made any difference in it. And his bike has 8,000 less miles than my bike too. And both bikes were ridden the very same as we rode together many a mile.
What do you guys think? Maybe not enough for a sure proper testing but I cant help that is leading to synthetic oil lasting longer than dead dinos.
