Reply #16 - 09/30/16 at 13:28:03 Probably not - but some of us add 1 oz. of Redline ZDDP to each gallon of Rotella oil to bump it up to 1,400 ppm. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1444820577 http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1345080430

Speaking of oil changes to relatively new engines, I've got a somewhat related question. I bought my 2012 Baby Boulevard at the dealer about 4 months ago with only 1020 miles on it. The dealer said they did the 1K oil change before they sold it but now it's got about 1,900 miles. I looked through several of the older oil change threads (using the Search tool) but I could not find any type of maintenance schedule.

Should I just change it in the next 2 months or so when it begins to turn colder and I know I won't be riding much from week to week? Huh

2012 S40 Boulevard (White and Silver) - small changes so far like windshield, sissy bar, saddlebags... but mostly stock.
