David, Yes, I try to stay ahead of the power curve. I picked my 83 900T up at the factory in Sweden. In the upper inside corner of the windshield on the drivers side was a sticker telling me to change my oil and filter every 5000 miles. The owners manual said somethingelse. In reality, I changed the oil between 3000 and 5000, depending on how th oil looked and my schedule. A truck ran into the back of my 83 900T. I replaced it with an 87 900S in Sept. 95. By May of 96 I had to close my business down and have not worked since then because of my injuries. So, when you don't have lot to do, changing the oil helps break the monotony. Besides, if you talk with Dick from Falls Church, an Amsoil Rep, he will tell you that the standards for motor oil in the U.S. are different than in Europe. We change more often, but we longer warranties. Ken Washington 87 9000S 87 900S 83 900T
