Break in???
My Dealer told me that I need to bring in my SG after 500 miles for the oil change due to having "break in oil" in it? I have had two other brad new HD's and was told to come in after 1,000 miles for the first oil change. Which is it? I plan on putting the synthetic in all three holes, but did not know I needed to get back this soon..Any advise?
Thanks

I think you're in the wrong place.

1k on break in, throwing money away to put syn 3 in the tranny and primary. Especially the primary but HD needs the bread.

When you get the bill for the oil change you will be clutching your chest...
I decided at 850 miles to get my 1000 mile service...
I now feel (and always will feel) violated.
