Hey Now!!  The mid winter oil thread begins, I was wondering when we =
would see this! Personally, I have been changing the oil (Triumph 4T) =
every 3000 miles in both bikes, I'm using a Triumph branded filter, and =
I don't give a s**t about Fram, Golden Spectro, oil sales at Wal Mart , =
blended synthetic/olive oil, or wherever.  My "investment" in these =
bikes, to me at least, warrants spending a bit more money for the peace =
of mind, if nothing else, I get from regular maintenance. I figure a =
motorcycle's engine to be a fairly highly stressed lump, so why not =
lavish a bit too much care on it?

  This may be a stupid question, but how often do you change your oil?  =
The service guide in the manual shows services every 6,000 miles.  I =
checked my oil the other day and it looks pretty dark with 3000 miles on =
it.  Should I go ahead and change it or will it be ok to wait until the =
next service?
