What is the consensus on the better time to change the oil and oil filter?
Is it correct to change the oil in the fall, so for storage fresh oil is sitting in the engine and will be ready to go in the spring?
Or is it correct to change the oil in the spring, so when riding season comes back around, fresh oil goes in and off you go?
I purchased a new to me bike in July and have put about 1K miles on it. The PO had just had the dealer service (I have documentation) the engine with fresh oil and filter, so I did not bother to change it once I took possession of the bike.
What's your suggestion?
