What you replace your oil at the same time as the engine?

I change my oil because it's done 4000 miles, not because it's so knackered it can no longer do 10500 revs. Are you saying that as my bike approaches this service interval my oil is knackered so I should use less revs?

I wouldn't put dirty oil in the scottoiler either, just 'cos although I'm as tight as a badger ar$e, I'm not that tight. (If I wasn't tight, I wouldn't be asking which to buy, I can afford to buy both)

Just googled for the toxicity of used engine oil. Apparently it contains arsenic and benzopyrene which is carcinogenic isn't it (causes cancer)?

You're putting it on the chain, not mixing drinks with it

Still handling it, decanting it, etc. I'd rather err on the side of caution and use fresh oil, call me a wuss but it's a hassle and not pleasant stuff. It's not like I'm going to spend a lot on it with the mileage I do nowadays. I'd just use the cheap Halfords stuff that I use in the XT600 and buy in 4 litre tubs, if I decide on the Scottoiler that is.
