How often do you change your oil?
Hey All,
Like the question says: How often do you change your oil?
I know the owner's manual says every 7500 miles after the first 600. I changed oil and filter after 100 and then again at 600. Is there anything to be gained by changing it every 3000, or even 1000 miles?
Just wanting to know what you all think.

At break in VERY soon. I did mine at 300. wish I did it at 150. was yucky with break in pollutants. after that every season or 1000+. Generally the harder you rider her, the better oats you have to feed her .....

I have heard the oil companies recommend every 100 miles or as often as you can possible afford it. I agree, but I have a mutual fund in petroleum
hahaha
Excellent question. Probably requires a chemist in the petroleum industry to get a real answer. Let me know if you find an expert opinion.
7500 sounds like a lot of miles between changes. But if that is what Kawi is saying and they are selling warranties then it is prob good. If you cut that in half and change it every ~3000 you are probably great! More than that and you are just helping my mutual fund
