Do others generally change oil more frequently on trip like this whilst away - as would rather not carry more oil than needed for top up if possible? - thoughts

Hi Calum
I will be taking my XT660z from Scotland to Thailand this summer and it will be getting one oil and filter change in Scotland at the start of the trip, then 23000km later one in Thailand, i will be using a 10/50 fully synthetic oil. If you look the z has a total oil capacity of 2.9 L which is good and its not a real high performance engine. The main thing i would recomend is keeping the air filter clean so no dirt can enter the engine as this is the only place dirt can enter, or when checking the oil, clean round the filler first.
