1 quart of oil made a big different

YamahaR6 · 11-01-2011, 11:14 AM

Oil went up to 110 seems high on a cold day (5 degree) and normal driving.

Checked oil and the stick read:

L---|--------F

Add one full quart of oil and now reads:

L----------|-F

MUCH different in acceleration, throttle responses, and oil temp never went past 90 and mileage seems better.

Anyone with the same experience?

VQ motors are somewhat notorious for oil consumption, not like you are blowing smoke or anything that bad, but they still get a slightly bad rep for sucking down oil into some secret compartment within the engine that no one knows about
