for what you are doing the used oil will be fine as long as you filter it to get out debis i would go get a paint strainer to put it through they are paper with a fine mesh filter.

Same thing with my streetbikes, I change oil and filter every 750 miles. So I would just bring them back to the shop and put them into customer's service bikes too!!! I only used the best synthetic oil I could get, and only O.E.M. oil filters. Plus at only 750 miles, it was just broken in!!!!!

One more reason I do all my own maintenance on my bike, cars, and truck! :blink:

How about it..... that's just wrong no matter how it's sliced and diced.

Putting used filters in other peoples bikes is kinda messed up.. Thats just.. greasy. I myself would be to paranoid to re-use oil. Even if you had a brand new oil pan to catch it all in, what if there was some crud inside from when it was manufactured? Then that shit just ends up in your motor.

That's a pretty greasy move bud...
