The skinny; I brought the bike in for it's 1,000 mile service and had them put Syn3 in the engine. Well only after 600 miles or so, the oil is all ready black. I figure the Syn3 inter-mixed with the Dyno oil a bit (of course). But Im also thinking that they did a job on draining the Dyno oil. Reason being, they overfilled the oil tank, thus making me think they didnt completely drain the Dyno, thus more than wanted Dyno oil is mixed with my Syn3. So, I guess what Im asking is should I change out the Syn3, or can I be safe by waiting until I up the bike up for the winter. At 2,000k now, figure I'll run another 1,500-2,000 before winter.

Yeah the filter was replaced. I could tell by all of the oil on my Drummer and chin fairing.
