Can you do an oil change at 600 miles?
New bike: First oil change at 600 miles is ridiculous! The Angry Blue Mantis! I just hit the 200 mile mark on my 2 month old FZ6. After reading several articles on motor oil’s and motorcycle oils I decided to go against the owner’s manual suggested 600 mile 1st oil change and change mine early… Man am I glad I did!
When do I change the oil in my car?
whenever the oil life monitor tells me it’s time. …normally around 7,000 miles. 500 miles then whatever the factory says. Synthetic from day 1. Change at 500 miles both oil and filter, then change again at 1500 miles, then at 3000 miles. From there I start to take used oil samples and see how far I can extend my drain intervals.

I changed the oil at 3k and then reverted to my usual 4k schedule.

I will do one every 5 to 6k miles after that using full synthetic. Mine is at 972 miles right now and I have an oil change scheduled for 2:30pm today. Should be just over 1000 mile by then as work is 19 miles from my house 1 way. As an old school hot rodder, it just goes against my nature to leave original oil in a vehicle past 1000 miles.

How many miles should I change my oil?
My local service place once said, “we don’t recommend the base oil change (Valvoline). It’s only good for 1500 miles. So, I called Valvoline right then and there. They confirmed that any of their current oils will meet or exceed the manufacturer recommended intervals. The dealer no longer uses the 1500 mile line to up sell the oil changes.
