Dirt Bike Oil Analysis

[James]

I knew it! Everyone saying the new efi hondas of pil in the oil....now ou see its normal .....though i would love to test my oil... Thanks for the results james ..... Dang phone wont let me edit so yeah *gas in oil

The fuel in the oil may be because of piston ring blow by. Check back next season when I test it again after changing piston and rings.

I'll probably go 6 hrs on the next oil change.

And that would be about 13 rides, right?

Heck no, that'll be closer to 20 rides (+/-10 rides).

 

[James]

how many hours are on the piston?
the fact that its starting to shear out of grade in surprise on machine with a shared engine/transmission. I would not try for 8 hours though.
I just got my kit, will be testing the engine oil

Did you ever get it tested?

You ever change the oil in a diesel? lol, That stuff is liquid coal as soon as you pour it in.

Firetrucks run it over 400hrs too.

like I've told people before, oil color is not a good way to judge its condition.

I've on a tractor where it takes it by the 5 gallon buckets.

And as soon as you pour it in, Its black as coal.

 

[snowflake]

And as soon as you pour it in, Its black as coal.

the newer electronically controlled engines take a little longer
our DT466E can roll for about 500 miles before its pitch black, but the old school Cummins 400's, any further than a 5 mile trip and its pitch black again

with the recent Baja 500
I would love to see some of the oil out of one those bikes tested to put the idea that it needs to be changed every 3 hours thrown out the door. They see tires and air filters for the entirety of the day, same thing for the 1000
