[QUOTE="Uenjoymyself, post: 1382703, member: 90627"] Is changing the oil for convenience sake come spring? I have 1000 miles on fresh oil and filter changed last month. Why would I want to change that oil before a four month storage in a heated garage? I plan on riding when the weather allows so not really a four month respite. I've read some interesting theories about used oil, in the bike, becoming acidic or having petroleum bi products in it that may harm the engine during winterization?? Whats the difference? That same oil is running throughout the motor during the riding season! I change my oil (MC specific semi synthetic) every four thousand miles with a new filter. Someone set me straight. Where are all of these bikes that have damaged engines because the oil wasn't changed before going into winter storage?? What's the thinking here?? Baffled, Uenjoy [/QUOTE]
