Changing oil is so easy and simple (talking Goldwing here) if you do it yourself, I usually replace every 3,000ish miles (if yea have your dealer do it for you, then that's another story,
very expensive then..Always replace
BOTH filter & oil at the same time...
A couple of years ago, I had cut open a oil filter on one of my service trucks, I was just curious to see what it looked like after 5,000 mile...Well there was so much gunk in there that it would be
hard to flow , all plugged up! That turned me into a true believer to
replace oil/filter at the same time, and at a 3,000ish interval...
I purchase oil and filter(s) when I happen to see it on sale, I have approx. 8 to10 filters left (for my wing) unopened in my garage along with a case of mobile one synth, oil just ready to be used.....
PS: I just changed my plugs along with oil/filter last week on my bike getting her ready for this spring rides..(if it will ever get here
)
