The oil path in my student days use to be.... new stuff >motorbike>car>lawnmower>hole in the ground.... with mums old stockings used to filter between oil relocation events.... except the last one.Thanks for the input, I remember when I use to ride all over the nation on a 650 Triumph, I used, used oil, recycled oil just about anything except cooking oil to keep it on the road. lol. I plan on keeping the r18 for along time so I am being a bit more careful about the oil. Thanks again.
