[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 64640, member: 21"] Actually Shell went and got the JASO-MA rating for the Rotella. That makes it just as motorcycle specific as most other "motorcycle oils." There are actually two parts to the changing oil debate. The first is the mechanical that everyone seems to exclusively focus on. After three hours the oil is very likely still quite serviceable. The color is not an indication that it's worn out. The second is psychological. The last thing you need when hitting the big jump is worrying about the oil in your engine. If it makes you feel better to change it go ahead. It sure will not hurt anything. Hey I've changed my oil after one ride more than once. I was trying to make up for severe bike abuse. :banana::banana::banana: [/QUOTE]
