So if I get the Synthetic Rottela do I need to add more ZDDP? And do I change oil filter on first time changing oil?

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.

Wouldn't hurt anything to do it.

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?

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

Maintenance schedule is in the owners manual.
Owners manual is in the tech section.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!
