Member Contributer bmart Posted February 2, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2022 Honda says 8k, and they're not wrong. I've had mine tested and it was still in great shape at 8k, even with track days, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Wald Posted February 2, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2022 My horses get fresh juice every 8000 miles or every 2 seasons. However, if you do not know when the last oil change happened, you may want to change it. Most of the vfr owners are pretty religious about maintenance, this is my best guess, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda's engineers say going 8K will meet and exceed your mileage expectations and I've had Mr.RC45 tested track days and racing and the 30 grade oil was still serviceable to reach 8K and you don't ride an RC45 in moderation either it's more like WFO go straight to jail velocity!!! My current favorite oil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer bmart Posted February 2, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2022 The old car Mobil 1 was fine. Then the additives came. They left 15w/50 alone. Then they broke that too. I moved to their 4T once the clutch in every bike started slipping and have been using that for a while now. Of course, the Honda synth is great too.
