I've got several liters of 20W50 on the shelf that will be used up. Same thing is going on with the K series. A new oil speck every 9 months or so.

Yes, a new BMW deal every 9 months or so, that we have to follow.
This time i gave the K1300S MOTOREX 10-50W and the bike loves it, was never satisfied with GASTROL.
On the small F800ST ARAL seems to be the oil, based on the previous ownership experience.
