Oil Filter for 2014 RTS

[ARtraveler]

Hello fellow Spyderlovers,
(I posted in two areas as there are at least two threads related to this...)

I had my dealer just complete my first service / oil change on my 2014 RT L. I asked when I set it up if there were any issues with parts, and the service manager said no.

He is credible! :thumbup: Just got home after being at the dealer for my first service. No issues whatsoever! :thumbup: NO mention of any parts (i.e. filter) for the oil change in backorder or any other issues.

As a matter of fact, while I was at the dealer, I purchased a complete set of O-rings, washers, filter, etc. for my next oil change -- all in stock. :clap::clap::clap::clap:

Are all of you really going to wait the "EVERY 15 000KM (9,300MI) OR 1 YEAR (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST)" to change your oil again???:shocked::dontknow:

I think I'll get it on the 5000 mile intervals from now on -- any thoughts? :dontknow::dontknow:

A good question indeed concerning oil change intervals. A 9300 mile interval does seem long in the scheme of things. Coupled with the once a year, regardless, does seem to temper the situation though. Most riders with a short summer season are not going to encounter the 9300 miles--so there is a safety margin there.

Those of us in the high miles club may want to consider a more frequent interval.

I don't personally have the answer--just throwing some ideas out for a brainstorming session.
