With HD dino oil I ran 2,000 - 2,500 mi. between oil changes and 4,000 - 5,000 mi. between filter chances. Then I switched to HD Syn3 at 6,000 mi. or so. Just curious - how long are you guys running between synthetic oil changes? . |

I'll run 5K on both oil and filter unless really dusty or rough riding. |

+1 5,000 miles on filter and synthetic oil. I also do the primary at the same time, since it is only 1 quart of oil, and I'm right there with the drain pan anyways. |

I ran HD dino for the first 33000 miles, changed every 3000. Just switched to Mobil 1 V-twin syn and plan to do changes at 5000. |

Synthetic oil needs to be changed? oh crap. |

If it's all paved road riding (little dust or dirt roads) 7500 mi should be no problem. AMS oil sez you can double the change interval. I still have an adverse psycho'logical reaction to black oil - I just have to drain it. Use AMS 20/50 in both trans & crankcase every 5K. But don't worry on long trips if I go over - $30 worth of syn oil is cheap insurance. |

Been doing 5K and the oil coming out still looks pretty good. The last change it was still purple. (I run Royal Purple) |
