I am not planning on doing this on a reg basis, just did it to see how the delo holds up in the RSV
Delo 400 15/40 at 5140 miles, I pulled a sample and then changed oil.
I have a buddy at a lab, so I did not have to pay for this.
Anyway the results, there were no abnormal wear patterns indicated.
and the oil was shown to be at 40%. He told me I could extend the oil changes to 7500 miles, however I am going to continue to change at 5000 miles.
This was just for info, oil analysis can show abnormal and contamination, but would be too expensive just to try to extend oil changes on a bike, but it does indicate to me that the RSV should do well with delo or rotella with 5000 mile change and good filters.
When I get the hard copy I will scan it and post it.
