Do yourself a favor... do the first oil change at 1000 miles as recommended.
&nbsp\\;
Then do the next at 3000 instead of 5000. Then 5000.
&nbsp\\;
600 then 1000 is a waste. 400 miles?
&nbsp\\;
BTW, I'm using whatever Harley recommends as long s the warranty is in effect. I'll switch to Amsoil after the warranty ends.

I have to agree with Amsoil, been using it for years on everything I own, Never any issues.

My dealer actually recommended Royal Purple over the SE syn oil. I've used it for a few years now and have had no issues.&nbsp\\;
