Just looking for some opinions here people. I bought an FX-Nytro RTX (brand new) & have managed only 70-some miles before our season has come to an end. So far this thing is simply awesome. A big leap coming off my '06 Nytro. The '06-07 Nytros are great, don't get me wrong.
Question is, should I just leave the oil in it over the summer & then run it to the 300 mile 1st service next winter, OR change it so it's pure & fresh for storage?? I know 70 miles is nothing, but it still has fine particles & will prolly get slightly acidic. Thanks guys!!

If I were you I would go ahead and change the oil this spring.

I noticed in the owner's manual it says to change the oil at the start of a new season. For me that is December (after deer season). Should I wait until then or change it now or doesn't it matter. I only have 240 miles on my Nytro.

Id wait, did that on my -06 nytro and my dealer told me not to worry, just run it and do the service when getting it out next winter.

It might not be a big deal.
If it were mine I'd change it for what it cost.

you should store it with new oil. Oil picks up water and debris over time. Letting it sit is not good. Change the oil at the end of the season not the beginning.

Thanks for the replies guys. I know letting old oil sit for months at a time isn't good. I changed the oil in my '06 in the spring. I'm just questioning whether or not that in 70 miles, that the oil got exposed/used enough to get acidic & cause problems. I know it's only $30 for oil, money isn't the issue at all. It's just the thought that it's a waste of perfectly good oil & my time.

Personally I would just wait until fall for the reasons you stated above. You're not going to hurt anything, but if you're not sure, opt for the cheap insurance and change it.
