I've been changing oil and filter every 3,000 miles on my current GS, the one before it (and the Ducati before that) even though the service schedule lists a 6,000 mile interval.
My belief is that these engines are based on an old design and the manufacturers at one time had 3,000 oil changes but increased that to make running the things seem cheaper. I'm still using "ordinary" non-synthetic 10W-40.
However, I'm no engineer. So what do you lot think, am I wasting money?
