Now or Wait Until Spring for First Oil Change?

[Deanna777]

So as much as I tried to get to 3,000 miles and then get on a yearly fall change schedule, should I do my initial 3000 mile change no or wait. Is there a "break in oil" that is put in at the factory any different than what I will put in if I use BRP oil? If it is the same, I should change it and maybe switch to Amsoil. All kinds of opinions I expect, all respected.

Change your oil now and put in a good full synthetic motorcycle oil that can be used for the "Wet Clutch and transmission & engine system,and that Meets and Exceeds JASO MA2 API SL,

I use Valvoline Full Synthetic SAE 10W -40 Motorcycle 4-stroke this meets and Exceeds JASMO MA2 API and is designed for specially for High Performance Motorcycles.

It is formulated for the specific needs of high performance 4 stroke motorcycles including high temperature, high rpms, and wet clutch systems.

Full synthetic formula for the ultimate protection against wear deposits and corrosion that can decrease engine performance.

Developed with advanced additives to resist oil thickening and maximum horsepower.

Outstanding wet clutch protection for maximum power transfer and smooth shifting .

When you do the oil change : change the oil filter, and oil rings, and etc. put in fuel stabilizer, and put on battery tender.

I have had good luck with the Valvoline Full Synthetic Oil.

A vote to go ahead and change oil out before storage. When spring comes around and the shops are books up -- you will be ready to ride.

:yes: I just bought a 2.5 gallon jug of Shell Rotella T6 5wt-40 for $75.00. At my local O'Rileys. That's 10 qts. !! Enough for the next 2 oil changes. I could barely lift the jug off the shelf.
Just following the recommendations of many site members. At $7.50 per quart; that is a whole lot better than a lot of the "premium" oils at 10-12 dollars per quart. :thumbup:
