wiseco 1085 oil consumption

[gshub]

Done about 1400miles since had my Gs1000s bored out to a wiseco 1085cc just
wondering how much oil they use or not, changed oil in it 3 times in that time
now running it on 10/40 Catrol power1 semi synthetic oil,so, we will see wot happens been running it on car oil before it was rebuilt and ran it for first 500mile on a mineral 10/40 car oil.

I never could tell as I probably leaked more than burned .


Never measured any of this accuratrely so guessing a little................
I fresh engine unleaking motor probably wont use more than 1/4 quart in 2000 miles which most people change oil by then (like going from bottom line to top line).

Castrol GTX in mine Steve. Oil changes somewhere between 500 miles (wet years when it doesn't get ridden ) and roughly 1500 miles otherwise. Never had to top it up.

A m8 of mine races his Gs1085 ,he uses Motul 10/40 semi synthetic the only
reason i used castrol power1 is because its easier to get should i need some out one day.
the other reason is never had any isues with castrol oils.
