Default another oil question

just changed oil on my 03 fat boy and used amsoil 20-50. the bike only has 3000k on it and the original owner didnt ride it much at all. so my question is should i ride with the amsoil for about 100mi and change oil and filter again to flush all the old oil out or not worry about it? keep in mind i think this is only the third oil change it has had.

Default RE: another oil question

If anything I would keep an eye on the color of the oil to see if it changes after riding for a few 100 miles, if it changes drastically I would replace the oil and filter...
Just my thoughts on the subject.
