• I noticed that my oil seems to get darker with use. Can you explain this? [25%]
It is natural for oil to darken with use. This is an effect of the oil doing its job well. The oil will darken as it collects the contaminants from the combustion process, as well as handling the high temperatures that occur within any piece of machinery.
Shit,I've lost interest...anyway,there's a bunch of studies that suggest that stop and go traffic and parade laps are worse on you oil/motor than any beating you could give your bike on the track. Also,if you change your oil and run it around the block a couple times,it'll come out black.
