So I have done a search on the site and a google search to find a answer but most answers I found were 7-10 years old.
The quick story...I have been running K&N oil filter and Rotella T6 5w-40 for almost 2500 miles. Bike is almost due for an oil change. Would it be a bad thing to run the oil filter another 2500 miles or is that just crazy thinking by me.
The reason why I want to do this is money has gotten a little tight right now. 10-17 dollars (Depending on where I get it from) for another K&N right now could go to something a little more important.
I have always changed the oil and filter out at the same time but it seems like I'm not even using half the life of the filter. My Ninja 250r I would change both at the same time because it was not uncommon to run it at 9000-10,000 RPM's (Max RPM's was about 13,500 or 14,000 if I remember correctly) for an hour on the freeway.
I'm just trying to sort out my thoughts.
Thank You.
