Gah!! Another oil thread!
Actually, I have to confess plainly that I hate the little sight window to get the oil level. It get's cloudy and even the swipey thing doesn't always do the job. On oil changes, I usually put the old oil in the bottle the new stuff came in and I've never noticed much difference but I'm not changing it much beyond 3k miles anyway. I did put a few ounces in during a 4,700k trip out west but I think it was 4-5 oz. at best.
Cool enough here to run good old Honda GN4 10-30. Used to use Rotella T6 15W-40 on the VFR but the CB sounded kinda knocky running it. So, OEM it is.
