SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer change interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes first, in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases. For Big Twin Harley-Davidson transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of up to 20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. When using an engine filter other than AMSOIL Ea, change the filter at standard intervals. Redline don't even come close to these drain intervals. I really don't know where that one is paying over $12.00 a quart but it retails for $11.25. So that would mean with the extended drain intervals you would be paying $5.625 a quart.

Drain old oil, replace with new oil, ride. Just as any reputable service center, including the dealer, would do.
