Oil Changes?

Wondering how often you should change the oil in a quad to keep it in good condition if you use standard brand name oil? I was told every 20 hours.

I sometimes ride by my house , Like I'am not sure exactly where you live over there( I though someone said u stay in 1 of the 2 apartment behind or beside my neighboor hood)
But I sometimes ride around the trashy looking field off of international , except the guy is a deek and sometimes calls the cops ..
I've also rode a few times over by semiens on Rhinehart ..
We ride in a field over by BJ's on 46 we are actually trying to get a dozer a build a little track or maybe just some jumps to play on ..
sometimes we ride over in debary , Not exactly sure how to get there ..
and just recently have been going to ocala and wanting to goto big scrub but haven't yet ..

Cha-Ching
The auto parts store must love you. Do you ride in a lot of dust where that is needed? Amsoil is good for 15k in a car/truck. If its looks good, no water or dust, That is a bit excessive. But at least your ATV is happy.

hey Ed,
well I was living in the Cobblestone Crossing apartments right near you up to the end of january but just moved out. I am right down the street now off Longwood Markham Rd past the soccer field. Where have you been going riding in Ocala? I go to Scrub a lot.
