vs
Engine oil Motorex or OEM BMW
I have always used Motorex. I have the same bike and 3 other KTM’s. Always Motorex. I know it is spendy but it’s very high quality
Pros: very high quality
Cons: it is spendy
In my Shiver 750, Motul or Motorex every 3,500 miles were required to keep neutral findable when you want it and hidden when you don’t. False or impossible-to-find neutrals were a sign that it was time for an oil change.
Pros: findable neutral
Cons: impossible-to-find neutrals
Mileage: 3500 km
I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.
Pros: check oil level
Cons: vehicles burn oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 3000 km
Use an oil designed for a wet clutch, like this [motorex 15w50]
Pros: designed for wet clutch
Well I decided to try Motorex on my F800 GS, bought the 4T Top Speed full synthetic, in 15W50, boy I cant help it but recommend this oil, the gearbox is so smooth and silky.
Pros: smooth and silky gearbox
Vehicle:
BMW
BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.
Vehicle:
BMW
I use motorex 30W in the air (or coil) side. The motorex is great stuff
Pros: great stuff
Motorex 60:1 piston and rings go 180 hours with out issue, could go longer but i change it every winter, powervalve has yet to need to be seriously cleaned in 3 pistons.
Pros: piston rings last long
I went with the motorex recommended oil. Worked great.
Pros: worked great
I paid $90 bucks for a full oil change the first time, using motorex. now for my 2nd change, she's getting Rotella T6 because it's cheaper. I put on too many miles a month to shell out $90 bucks every 3k miles.
Pros: null
Cons: expensive oil change
