2,500 miles... Just curious about the short change interval - is it because you don't drive it much, use it alot for short trips, worried about fuel dilution, UOA results, or ?

Pennzoil ULTRA EURO 5W-40. No UOA yet, but on paper this stuff looks perfectly formulated for our CB-prone machines. The ULTRA EURO has 502.00 certification (preserves warranty) which the ULTRA oil doesn't have.

Fuel dilution is what makes me change it out at 2,500.
