Routy, that ball is in Drums court now, so we'll wait on him to answer it.
If somebody else wants to take a poke at it, they surely may -- this here is an equal opportunity oil window war.
Why do you do the Suzuki Method of Oil Window Checking?Somebody will come up with
some compelling reason they still do the Road Runner (or the One Knee Proposal as the case may be) .... if they can come up with anything good enough to type, anyway.
Bill however wants to use up the last of his 3 free passes rehashing the last 5-6 oil wars, which is mildly provoking all by itself.

Verslagen, since you are here now
please educate Bill about his favorite oil since you have put more of it into a Savage than he has.
Yup, if he has an '06 and if the rest of his "claimed mileage and oil change data" runs true then he is still on his
original crankcase load of Klotz.
Doing the Road Runner -- in the cartoon the wily bird would always do a certain head and neck motion, inverting them so his head was down by his feet, peer at the poor stupid busted up coyote upside down and very rapidly stick his tongue out at him making a tucka-tucka-tucka sound then hitting him with a cheery "Beep Beep" before zipping off again.
But you are right, real ostriches do it too --- except they are sticking their head down in the sand and are ignoring reality.Hey, that "head in the sand" thing works in this case too if you think about it a bit.
To ignore the fact that the Suzuki Method makes no sense, doesn't work as easy or as well as the sidestand method does, doesn't allow you to put the 2.5 quart recommended amount of oil into the bike and it actually puts you a lot closer to engine death due to low/no oil when you are on a road trip, why "head in the sand" does seem to apply here, doesn't it?
