^^^at my dealer the oil is the same price as regular crap that wasent designed for my engine somewhere else. and besides, i change my oil once a month and its just turning color then.;)

Good point. I would rather spend $15-18 an oil change than $500 when the motor goes...:rolleyes:

Less than 15 hours....I rode to my gf's house and back which is about a 10 mile ride round trip....and my oil was already black. That told me to switch to Mobile 1;)

i thought you were arguing against me for honda generic4 stuff :blah:
