To answer some of the questions, the R1200S has a gauge and a warning light too. The gauge is your typical bar graph, but the light will flicker then go on solid until you get moving fast enough to get air over the oil cooler. Typical temps were in the 70's (22 c)
Its not an issue until you hit hwy traffic where its more stop than go. In fact it happened twice to me last year and it literally took 30 mins to travel about 3 miles. With me stopping to cool off and then restarting. Up here you can't filter. Since all the HWY users know this year will be worse than last I was looking for alternatives.

I use Mobil 1 20:50 for Vtwins. But on a Ducati forum some posters have made comment that 10:40 is thinner and therefore causes less friction, and on a higher performance VTwin oil intended for a range of VTwins like Mobil 1 might not be as good as a high performance 10:40 oil. I think I will try Motul though.

Thanks for the help. Ray
