How often do you change your oil in your bike, and what type do you run?

I run Crisco & I change it when the fries start to come out black instead of golden brown!

taznhell · 08-12-2008, 08:57 PM

I place several drip pans in the Harley parking areas and when I have collected enough oil I change mine. The oil does not stay in a Harley long enough to loose viscosity and it saves me big money.

~2k miles, unless it's been ridden super hard.

Use the search function to find all the oil threads you could ever want.

rpappi · 08-12-2008, 09:02 PM

3k maybe a few hundred more.

james1300 · 08-12-2008, 09:08 PM

You change oil?

odin544 · 08-12-2008, 09:11 PM

I change the air out in my tires every 1000 miles. you guys think i'm overdoing it?

xratedrr · 08-12-2008, 09:20 PM

I run hondas oil in my honda, they say change it every 8k so I do it at 4k. I know im not going to change any minds here.... but I think some of you are throwing money away...

Why dont I buy something fancy to put in? well... hondas oil is reasonably priced actually, and if its good enough for them, im all for it.

Another oil thread Seriously?

abbott5277 · 08-21-2008, 06:38 AM

been doin mine every like 1000 miles or so. tryin to keep it frsh for the first few thousand miles

lagwagonlead · 08-21-2008, 07:28 AM

You guys who do it every 1000 miles. Holy crap. That would be once a month for me. That's a lot of time and money wasted IMO. I shoot for 3-4k and I try to use Honda oil but if I'm in a pickle I'll go with something cheaper, or whatever is available if that's the case. I suppose if I was making bank and had a nice bike and it wasn't my daily driver, I would baby it a little more.

DRD2 · 08-21-2008, 01:28 PM

THis is what gets me; my owners manual recomends that I change my oil every 7500mi!
I change it about every 2k.

endeRR · 08-21-2008, 01:39 PM

Change oil? I'm at 50k on the original dealer installed stuff.

Runout · 08-21-2008, 01:46 PM

If you use inject bearing grease into your oil reservoir, you never need to change your oil. That's what I do.
