I really don't understand it since there is nothing different about the engine. but nothing ....Consider the possibility of difference in materials used for the internals of the engine.
And this 6000km is actually 6400, 12800, 19200 and so on because in miles it would be 4000, 8000, 12000 and so on (or every 6 months)
Filter is changed every second oil change. So overall it's not a huge investment. How much is a quart of this Repsol oil you are using?
I normally use Motul or Liqui Molly on all my bikes, and a heavier grade (10w50) as we ride in excessive heat for the better part of the year, and it never gets cold, and I found that buying a 2x4l canisters saves me around 60$ - not much but one can get a lot of beer for that
