When are you supposed to change the oil on a new motor? I normally change mine every 3000 miles like clock work but does it need to be done sooner with a new motor, like after the 500 mile break-in?
So far I've got 3 1/4 mile passes, about 50-60 miles in high altitude, and probably around 80-100 miles runnin' around town here.
Cange oil at 500 mile break in mark. First 500 miles should not be driven hard. Don't switch to synthetic oil untill after a minimum of 1500 miles. That's how my motors work!!!!
