Been running Amsoil 20/50 since the breakin......I change every 3000 regardless. Small price for the "insurance" it provides your engine.&nbsp\\;

 

Haaaa, I do mine every 2 to 3 thousand miles. no matter what. Oh well, I'm over doing it a bit.

 

I doubt your engine thinks your over doing it............small investment for the care of the bike. Ok, so Im **** about the oil thing....lol...I'll be quiet now, lol.&nbsp\\;

 

Your not alone, and no its not overdoing it, not in my book anyway.

 

Your dealer just told you a big fat lie and does not deserve your business.&nbsp\\; You can do your own service.&nbsp\\; Just keep receipts of the filter and oil.&nbsp\\; I take a pic of the speedo and the fileter and oil along side the bike when it is on the lift.&nbsp\\; Then keep it in a file.

Call HD they will confirm that you can do your own service.&nbsp\\; Also READ your warrenty.&nbsp\\; It is a written contract between you and the MoCo.&nbsp\\; the dealer has noting to do with it.

I'm get po'd at all the unethical harley dealers out there.&nbsp\\; I won't go back to my selling dealer it he gave stuff away.

 

Go with what HD reccommends. Stay with the service schedule in case a warranty issue comes up.
