for smaller commuters it can last 8-10k kms easily. I believe the oil wouldn't loose its character below 5K even in the Pee2x0's....
Remember, the most important reason why the oil looses its property is the heat... yes, the Pee2x0's produce too much heat... but when the engine oil is able to do better heat management, like how the synth's are formulated, you cannot decide stuff based only on the oil grade...
I have noticed that the Pee2x0's running on Motul 300v FL's engines heat up leser than the ones running on regular oil.
Bajaj increased the engine oil grade to 20w50 for the Pee2x0's because they were unable to reduce the engine heat... for that matter, even the 180... where as the ZMA is running great even on 10w30!!!
Now does anyone else have something to add to this?
