Not my daily driver
With gas prices I have to drive my motorcycle alot more (I am sure everyone can relate). Anyway I have only been putting about 300-600 miles a month and was wondering if anyone can help me out with the oil change intervals. I am familiar with the mileage intervals, but do I really need to change the oil every three months if I am only putting about 1500 miles on the engine in that period?
Thanks for any info. given!

Oil????
Are you supposed to change the oil in these things?
Mine burns so much I just add a quart about every couple weeks and call it good.
I change the filter about every 5000, but the oil kinda cycles itself out on its own.

Since i hardly do 3k miles in 3 months on any of my cars, i change the oil at 3 months regardless of miles. SOmetimes even less if i check the oil and its dirty.
Its cheap and easy to do insurance.

I have mine changed at 3 month intervals, even though the car only has 5300 miles on it and it's 15 months old. They're free, so why not?
BUT- the oil change isn't for the car, it's so you can sleep a little easier at night. And only about half the total oil gets changed each time anyway.
