Most of my customers change around the 5,000 mile mark even though Amsoil has designed their oil for a 10,000 mile change interval for a HD. I do have several that change at the 7500 mile mark with a few that take it on out to 10,000 mile changes.

Engine once a year, milage usually around 5k but I will go one year reguardless. Tranny and primary 2 years, reguardless of milage. If I was a more open road tourer I would go longer but one year is about 5k miles for me.

I use Amsoil and do 5K, 10K and 20K like my '07 Ultra book says. Works for me.

I am doing it every year or every 10k miles, which ever comes first. FYI I sent my oil to blackstone and that report is some where here. They were VERY complimentary of my report.
