Boils your bike, is this a thing?

Don`t waste your money, you have fresh oil in the bike, leave it be, it is good for 5,000 miles.

Needless to say; I won't be taking my bike to the dealer for my oil changes, I only trust one person when it comes to oil changes...ME!

Prior to bringing the bike in for service, did you ask the Service department whether they were willing to use oil provided by you?
