Re: How often do you change your oil and filter
That's like taking a shower and putting on your dirty clothes again.
 Just makes no sense to me. |

Re: How often do you change your oil and filter
Why would you not change the filter, it traps all that junk and then you have that junk mixing with clean oil I dont get it

Re: How often do you change your oil and filter
The filter is the cheapest part of the equation - false economy not to change it IMO if you're changing the oil. Especially if you know you've put it on properly yourself and not someone else perma-bonding it into place

Re: How often do you change your oil and filter
I do oil and filter every 3K miles, I know some newer bikes say 5K, but I would rather spend a little more money to have added protection to my motor. JMHO.

Re: How often do you change your oil and filter
Since 3,000 miles is easy number to remember, I change my oil if mileage on my odometer is diivisable by 3,000. I also mark it on the calender, so I can review it quickly. Always keep spare oil filter and 4 bottles of 100% Synthetic Motorcycle 20W/50 available, so I do not have to "run" to the dealer and take advantage of weekend or coupon sales to get discounts of up to 20% for stocking items.

Re: How often do you change your oil and filter
I change mine at the end of each riding season. That puts me anywhere from 1500-3000 miles.
 (I'm a fair weather rider)

Re: How often do you change your oil and filter
Every 3000 miles. I ride mostly highway miles, very little in town. I do change from a 20w50 to a 10W40 when the temps go down. We do a lot of riding in the upper 30F range in spring and late fall.
