Even with my oil cooler I still change the oil frequently. Good oil is cheap insurance for a longer running engine.
I'm running between 3-5k miles a season, depending on the Ohio weather patterns....I always start the season with fresh oil, and then depending on how long I can go, maybe hit another one close to end of season, then change it at beginning of next. Oil cooler would be for the purpose of insurance with the oil. I ride most of my miles on the highway, so high RPMs for extended periods of times. Figured that with a $40 or so investment, couldn't be a bad thing. Was just wondering what the longevity of this was. Thanks for the response.
