Oil change before/after winter?

Can't argue with that.

However, for the past many decades I change the oil in the early spring. This is because I do ride during the winter. Riding in the winter actually contaminates the oil even more (much more condensation build-up), so why bother putting fresh oil in the fall. Sounds backwards, and it would be if you were not riding in the winter. I have yet to ever have a problem.

Adapt oil change schedule according to your riding conditions.
