2nd Oil Change for the Bus
I know how oil threads can get, but this one may not be too bad..
When I changed the oil around 600 miles I used Suzuki Dino oil and a Suzuki filter from the dealer and spent some retarded amount like 50$.. I'd like to use Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 as soon as possible.. Just wondering after 1k miles if that would be a problem.. If the rings are seated by now, I really don't see why it would, but I hear a lot of people not switching to synthetic until a few thousand miles.. What's your take on this? |
i waited a few thousand miles before changing it out
|
If you don't have a reason to change the oil right now why should you? Wait until its time for an oil change do the switch then.
|
Agree with both above
|
I waited until my 3rd change (initial change and then 2 regular changes) before switching over. Just my tradition.
|
I did about the same. I did my first at 1k, another at 4k, then I think at 7k I switched. I did another full syn change at 10k just for cause of ensuring a proper flush of the dino oil.
This year I plan on just doing 5k changes of motor and primary. Not the trans, that I will do once a year. |
Run Rotella Triple Protection 15w-40 for awhile then switch to the T6.

Switch it. Fuck it. Seriously. It won't hurt anything.

My bike came with the HD synth in it from the factory. That's what I put back in it.
Now it's running AMSOIL synth... |
