next oil change?
 

i changed my dino juice and filter at 350 then 700 miles. my bike has 1400 miles on it now. at what milagedo you guys suggest i change it next. the manual states 4000 i think but i'm not waiting till then. thanks;)

Why not wait that long? If it seems to far for u just do it at 2000-2500

RE: next oil change?
 

man, its a mental thing. from 700 to 4000 on dino gn4 seems like a long milage interval.[&:]

RE: next oil change?
 

I go every 2k. I'll switch to synth this next change (@9k) then see what happens. I guess you are talking 3300 miles till the next one right? Maybe a little too long for someone that really cares/about/for their bikeand since it is so easy to do on these bikes, why not do it sooner than later? The other thing I notice is the shifting gets notchy/sluggish if I wait much past 2k, so I also use that to come up with every 2k.

yea i feel ya but i got my lat oil change at like 1200 or so so im only at 2000 now and prob wont get the oil changed again till 3000-3500. I'm going to try to do every 3000-3500 mile unless im doing some heavy riding in the season. With me it all depends on how long i have been riding or havent been riding. But doing it at 2000-2500 should be a good in the middle for you. which you would easily get this riding season or halway through the season depending on how much you ride and weather.

I change mine every 1500 miles,, but im a daily driver too..

RE: next oil change?
 

so i'm good till 4000:D

RE: next oil change?
 

Ya I am sure the engineers who designed these don't have a clue on what to do, right? If you are using synthetic it ain't gonna go bad. The only way I would be worried is if it was extremely dusty where you ride. As far a daily driver goes, so are most cars. I do realize that we all love these bikes more than most family members, but at some point you are wasting money. IMO.:D

save yourself money and the environment, before shelling out so much bling on fequent and unnecessary oil changes, send your oil away to blackstone labs for an analysis.

i'm not changin it again untill at least 3700 miles. i'm gonna put at least 3000 miles on the oil thats in the bike now. i already changed the oil and filter at 350 and 700.;)

RE: next oil change?
 

95 lets be real. We all know you're not going to wait that long. :D

Just put synthetic in and at least you can help the US get out of Iraq.
(oops, what that a political plug)

i'm going to 3700 baby!if i wasn't so lazy i'd start feelin guiltyaround 2200 and contribute to some more environmental polluting.its mobil 1gold cap15-50 synthetic at 3700 though;)

RE: next oil change?
 

i thought synth wasnt that much of a difference other then more miles before change so why go to that or is it just preferance.

RE: next oil change?
 

First let me say this: When it comes to oil discussions, EVERYONE is right.

Second, generally speaking synthetic gives a cleaner engine, better tight tolerance lubrication, longer drain interval, and its properties can be altered to suit its purpose better.

cause thats what Thirdgenlxi runs and he's got 90,000 by now. and smoother shifting.;)
