[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 700344, member: 1875"] Take it for a 20-minute ride around D&H territory. Bring it back to them and ask for a quick inspection if you want. Ride it easy for the 600, keeping the RPM below 6,000 as much as possible. Stop at an Advance Auto or AutoZone and buy Rotella-T and good quality (Purolator or Mobil) filter. If you need any extra tools you can purchase them right there. I bet they'll have an oil drain pan you can borrow if you explain your visit, plus they'll take your used oil and filter for recycling. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS!!! Ride the second 600 vigorously. Shift through all the gears. Run the RPMs high and often. If you are slabbing, be sure to run in 3, 4 and 5, not just 5th. When you arrive home, have your preferred dealer do everything on the 600-mile service, including another oil/filter change. It won't hurt a thing. Yamaha is pretty darn good about honoring warranty and taking care of things, as long as you have receipts to show you've been doing your part. You can't change oil too often, but you can surely change it too late. [/QUOTE]
