General Discussion / Re: Oil Pressure Warning - 2018 v7iii Stone

My daily commute was a similar small distance mainly on back roads. The Z200 was used all year round, come rain, snow or shine and frothy oil was a feature. I would've rarely changed the likely cheapest Comma car oriented 20w50 dinosaur fluid. Hmm, did the wet clutch ever slip on that bike? Don't recall that being an issue - perhaps due to the colossal 18bhp.
With the benefit of hindsight, the oil contamination probably didn't help the plain bearing camshaft that crapped out at around 16,000 miles.
BTW, I assume that you'll change the filter. Given the level of contamination, I'd be tempted to drop the sump, for a good wipe down, along with the strainer.
