My p500 gets used very little outside of hunting season and I only put 100 miles on it since last September. Should I change the oil yearly regardless of mileage? Or just wait until it hits the 600 mile interval? I run around the neighborhood about once a month.

If you ride in water during hunting season
If you ride in dust
If you ride in extreme heat

These might be reasons to change it. If you don't change it yearly, then I would not go over two years. Just my 2 cents.

Correct, and, he said its garaged most of the time. So he should be very fine to change it at 600 miles

I thought I wouldn't use mine much outside of hunting season but I was wrong. I put 100 miles on it in three weeks. Back and forth to the cold beer shack. Goofing off around the house. Riding to my buddies down the street. It's just fun to ride. It doesn't help when I get home my boy says ride dads toy.
