Fluid changing
I recently purchased a 2015 Heritage Classic with 2000 miles and would like opinions on if I should change any fluids. The local dealer said no, but 5 years seems like a long time to have the same fluids.

As the story goes, oil left in engines extended period will cause corrosion to metals. I saw studies where that isn't so to any measurable degree. So... do what make you sleep good at night.
Oh yeah, Welcome to the forum with a controversial first post on oil. Maybe you intended it that way. That's all I'm going to say.
