Default Winter Oil Change

I have an 2007 Electra Glide Standard and have been changing the oil and filter before putting it up for the winter months. This year I had the 15,000 mile service and when I put it away I had only put 2,000 miles on it since the oil change. What are the thoughts on not changing the oil and filter until spring? I know a few people who routinely do this but it's the first time that I will have done it.

With only 2,000 miles on the oil change,I wouldn't worry about it.Your motor will be fine.

No problem. Your oil should have enough TBN left to prevent corrosion.
