Default Doh, In a rush n put 1/2 quart of primary in oil

I just changed the oil last night and put 3 quarts in my 05 road King. So waited till the morning to start the bike and cap it off. Not paying attention I put 1/2 quart of primary fluid in....should I change the oil? Or is that going to be alright?

Seriously, lick the mustard off your fingers and do it again. It would probably hurt nothing but it's going to aggravate you thinking about it till the next oil change. Just like turning down sex....

Drain it into a clean pan, and save it to use in the mower, or in the primary...

That so called primary oil is most likely nothing more than motor oil, with a different label on the container.
