How many hours are you guys running between oil changes? I've been changing it every 20 hours but thinking 30 - 40 would be sufficient. Referring to the CG type engine.

My CG powered bikes get a change every 1000 to 1500 miles.

I'd imagine that would be fine. You, however, put many more miles (hours) on your quads than most of us. I usually take mine until it gets tinted in the sight glass or just once every 6 months of around the house usage. A quart....cheap enough in the dino 15W-40.

80 hours over the last month. Under 4000 RPM 99% of the time. I've always gone by miles rather than hours before so this is different.

80 hours in a month! Holy cow! You'll be right up there with Spuds 70,000 mile Zong pretty soon! ;-)
A testament to the reliability of these motors, for sure.
