8 oz left? How much did you spill? More than 16 oz is overfull. I use 16 measured oz and don't even look at the stick because I know 16 oz is enough. 20W50 is way too thick. I guess it would be ok for a 3-hour endurance race in 85 plus degree weather. It shouldn't hurt it but will not have the power it would have with thinner oil. I use no thicker than 5W30. Nearly all my rides are 1/2 hour or less so I can use thinner oil. Currently one of my bikes with a 196 has 5W20 in it. Most guys use 10W30. I get pretty stupid with short oil change intervals. I keep an eye on it and if it gets too far off color I change it. In my opinion short change intervals are more important than brand. I also grab the brake and pull the front way up to drain out as much bad oil as possible. The bike gets stood up just short of vertical over the drain pan and slowly rocked a little left and right. haha.

Looks like that carb was running rich and yes that is some really nasty oil!!!!
@@vikingerik80 yeah buddy! Thanks for all the small engine know-how and tips on your Channel!
@@MikeTrullAmsoildealer I also think that oil wasn’t changed in quite a while :) but luckily there is you, the Amsoil doctor to get it right!
