I appreciate everyone's opinions. I am new with my bike, and still giddy over it. At this point I need to mae a decision, because after I get my bike out and the trans recall is done I am going to drive it for about 200 miles or so and then change the oil. Everyone has their own experiences, and each bike to an extent reacts somewhat different. I would much rather to contribute to this forum than be a pain, I just started this idea of making a Rotella blend. As one fella said motor oil especially for automobile is changing....

I have made up my mind to go with the Pure One or Mobile 1 filter and use the 20/50 Mobile V twin synthetic. I can pick up the oil and Mobile 1 filter all at AutoZone in one sweep. Yes I get a little goofy with everyone chiming in with their own 2-cents but that's what these kinds of forums are about. I would have never known about the recall on the transmission if it was not for this forum.

I love to fish, and have 4.5 acres of lake front property in Lake Fork TX (east TX) and recently bought me a John Deere to clear all the small scrubs etc so I can get my brush hog in between the trees. Very nice looking property. I have a garage, with concrete floor put in and have alot of work in front of me. I also own a home that was built in 1935 inwhich I am restoring. Love those pier and beams as plumbing etc can be ran under the flooring.

So... I am not even certain if i dont just change the oil once a year anyway. So spending whatever it cost to get the best for my bike should and is not an issue.

I appreciate you fellas and we may be different but we all have one thing in common... we love our Road Stars... thanks for the feed back, I will put what oil and filter issues that I had to rest. this forum rocks.

have a nice day, and safe Thanksgiving Holidays... drive safe and watch out for those cell phone drivers

Alright, now I'm jealous. I am also a Bass Angler and have been wanting to move out around the Lake Fork area for a while now. It is my dream to get out of this metromess to the east Texas country side.
Here is a pic of my fishing barge.
