new S2R owner here! I'm sticking to a strict 7500 miles oil change interval
I’m a big fan of Mobil 1 V Twin synthetic oil because of its track record in my other engines. is anyone else running this in their Ducati Monster, or do you swear by Shell Advance?
what's your oil setups?
 
Congrats on the S2R! The air-cooled Desmodue engine in that bike is legendary, and because it’s air-cooled, your choice of oil is more than just "brand preference" I understand it’s a critical part of the cooling system. Most Monster owners have run Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 for decades with great results, and that;' saying something.
 
Most riders go with oils like Mobil 1 Racing 4T or Shell Advance. They are packed with additives that help protect highperformance clutches and gearboxes.
