Buy bulk oil and filters on sale, and change it yourself.
It's got to be the worlds worst kept secret that buying oil from a dealer will result in paying top dollar. I'll pay it for the Amsoil I use. I've got 28k into the bike. I'm not going to try and save $20 a year on oil.
Changing the oil is about as difficult as changing a lightbulb. A new oil ring and some teflon thread sealer and it's done. Even the filter drips no more than a few drops when removed. If it worries you that much, get the Fix My Hog video and watch it and it will make it much clearer.

Not trying to be a smarta$$ or anything (well, maybe I am) but how many of you use this in your B&S engines. It's only $4.15 for 18 oz. and it's designed specifically for your B&S air cooled engine. Tell me, do you feel obligated to use it because it's got the B&S logo on it?? It's gotta be better because it's made for your specific engine brand, right!! Do ya see my point here??

WELL GUESS WHAT
Harley Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Briggs and Stratton, John Deere, Ford,Dodge, you see where I am going right. Do not make any feakin oil, they buy unbranded oil from BP, Shell, Texaco and put there sticker on it.
Marketing it is all a marketing strategy, they put it out there and most are dumb enough to buy it, cause they know no better.
