I just drop the oil in the softail 117 build thinking I had 3 or more quarts of dino oil

left. (NO DINO OIL). So here is the question. I have 900 miles on the build now. Is it to soon to go to AmsOil Synthetis 20W-50? Thanks. Want to ride the bike tomorrow and will not be able to buy dino oil till monday.

900 miles is plenty. but, is that the first oil change since the new build ??

No that is going to make the Number 4. Did one at 25 miles, One 100 miles, one at 500 miles.

Oil is cheap!On a build that is over $10k I think I would be changeing it just like Captvic is doing while breaking it in...At least it makes you feel good if not anything else. I,m following Captvic with my breakin procedure to.
