No one denies that changing your engine oil is an important part of motorcycle maintenance, but too many bikers are still in denial about conventional oil changes.
Yes, particles in your oil are removed by the oil filter, but it is the combustion gasses mixing with the oil that causes a chemical breakdown, reducing its effective lubrication and creating acids that eat away at the engine's internal components.
Changing the engine oil and filter are the accepted method of removing contaminated oil, but the design of millions of motorcycle engines hold dirty oil during this process and upon being restarted, return that filthy oil to the tank where it immediately mixes with the clean oil, accelerating the breakdown of the fresh oil, shortening the life of your oil and
compromising lubrication qualities right away. See for yourself. Change your oil. Ride a half mile, and check your oil. Clean? Hardly.
