Mine is a gold color is it ready to change?

 

[snowbizx]

probably not

 

[Andrew]

No. When it's black, it's ready to change. Gold means it's brand spanking new oil.

 

[Josiah]

ok it has about I'd say 900 miles to it so probably another 1k?

 

[snowbizx]

the bike has 900 miles? or the oil?

 

[Josiah]

the oil

 

[Bmanxer]

:hehe
:roll
oh

This is a good one man, no offense to the OP whatsoever, I just dont think I've ever heard ANYONE ask this question...

Your manual tells you when to change the oil.

blacker then night is what i always go by....









but really, i change mine more then i should, i NEVER let it get to black, all this viscosity is gone by then and i for one am not wanting my valves to be slipping around in there.

Its the mileage you should go by anyway.Not the color!Oil turns dark/blk after a few weeks just from the heat cycles.That doesnt necessarily means its toast.More so when regarding synthetics.

 

[Josiah]

im just freaking out cause my check engine light turned on

 

[La Negra]

That could mean there is a malfunction in your computer system(ecu,sensors,etc).Your oils condition would have little/nothing to do with it.Was it the eng management light or the oil level light?
