You still change the filter at regular intervals. John K.

New motor and under the Manufacturers warranty so I would absolutely follow the exact recommendations for both oil and interval of change. I might even have the service done by a dealer just to have proof positive. Edited by Gamalot on 04/30/11 - 7:12 AM
