As for me I only use "Castrol"motor cycle oil, same in my car,(not M/C oil) odd realy but I change the oil in my car every 2000 and I always change the filter as well,on the Savage I change every 500 miles and the filter every other time,just a personal thing I guess,no particular reason. However I do have a reason for using only "Castrol" on my trips to the Isle of man,my Dad was hired by Castrol to show a short movie promoting the product,he showed it 3 or four times a day in the cocoa tent,it's where I learned my first long word "Viscosity" all through the movie (15 mins) the guy must say "High viscosity index" 25 times ,and I guess it stuck,at that time most riders used it along with "Avon tires", Dunlop was the biggie for tires until a rider got killed after the tread came off his front tire,then every one switched to Avon, A big blow to Dunlop at that time. Interesting that all riders at that time used "Castrol R" the R for racing,it was a vegatable oil,it had a very high viscosity,the only problem with it was that you had to completly strip down the engine after each race otherwise it would turn to gum,I don't think they use it anymore,used to smell great out the exaust.
