I run the Rotella and do oil changes at 5000 mile intervals. The US spec says 4000, but the EU spec says 10,000 kms or 6200 miles, so I split the difference. I only seem to use oil if I'm maintaining higher speeds for extended periods. I try not to do that, but it sometimes happens. Typically, extended 5k rpm running seems to use oil enough that I'll need to add 8 ounces or more the next day. Normal riding doesn't require me to add any oil between changes.tpak said:What was your change interval on the Amsoil? I've been running Rotella T6 w/o issue but don't have that many miles on the bike yet and my changes have been short miles (~2000). At the price, this stuff is hard to argue with and seems to go on sale at some store every couple of months. I'd also be interested if you have any observations on shifting vs. with the Amsoil.
Why are you changing the oil so early?
