How long can a bike go without an oil change?
So for modern bikes you should replace the filter (and oil, by proxy) every 3,000 – 6,000 miles. For bikes using non-synthetic oil you want to change the oil around every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or every 6 months; whichever comes first.

How can I tell if my bike needs an oil change?
