First oil change (on this bike)
06/08/12 at 09:27:02
Ok, so I'm hoping to get around to changing the oil in my 02' savage this weekend. I bought my bike used about two months ago and my oil level has been ok, but I think it's time to change it (just to be safe). The previous owner said he put 20W50 synthetic in it. I live in Indiana and I wanted to make sure that I'm using the correct weight (I don't really care if it's synthetic or not). Without starting any arguments... what do you reccommend? Thanks for any input!

Make sure you put the oil filter in right way 'round...

I often find my local dealer is better than buying off the web - no shipping fees. My last oil filter was about $7 CDN.
