Change the oil and check for build up on the magnet. I use 80/90 GL5 gear oil. There is no way to know how long it will last. The best advise is to use 4th as much as possible, and stay out of 5th gear, this will make it last as long as possible :crossed:

Ok, thanks. Changed the oil and put sythetic in about three months ago. There were no excessive shavings on the plug, and I have been try to lay off 5th.
hmm....
