Not too soon. But if it were me, I'd change the oil with regular dino and ride it another few thousand. Cheaper for you, and the dino is a better break in for the engine.

Agreed , saw that Valvoline and Castrol 4-Stroke MC oil on sale recently at Autozone for $2.99 a quart . Was looking to change from the $6.50/qt. HD Dealer oil , picked The Castrol because that is what I have run in every vehicle I've owned in the last 40 years with great success . Sure the Valvoline is just as good .

now thats thinking with your dipstick jimmy


Bel ray for the trans and no wine or clank and I can find neutral. I use Motor Factory® Primary Case Lube in the primary. because Amsoil has gone up so much I just switched to Mobil 1 for vtwin and it works as good. I have 30,000 miles in about 1.5 years and it runs great and no debris in the oil changes.
