Have I made a newbie oil change mistake. (Read 100 times)

eau de sauvage Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 2565 Queensland Gender:	Have I made a newbie oil change mistake. 07/03/16 at 03:04:59 Recently did an oil and filter change at 1000kms, and I have only just seen the rock the bike tip to get the cam bath oil out. I know that under normal circumstances it is not a big deal, but I was wondering if it is a big deal for the initial oil change, seeing that is going to contain the most crud.

I'm not sure it makes any difference anyway...

You'll never get all the old oil out,.. but if you did,... you'll be having a moment of no oil in the head at initial start-up... (even dirty oil is better than none)..
So is it better to leave a little dirty oil in?...
Who knows...

I used to change my oil every 1500 miles... but now, I think that may be overkill. I'm changing every 3,000 now.
On my Sportster,... I go 5,000 miles as recommended in the manual.
I think we worry too much... Huh

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh
