I change my oil every 3000 miles and I use motul 300v factory line. I've currently have 300 miles till my next oil change and my track day is this Saturday. So should I change my oil before and have fresh stuff for the constant high rmp stress that ill be applying for the 2 days at the track, then leave that oil in the the remaining 2700 miles give or take till my next oil change? Or do I wait till after the track day and change my oil?

I kinda think it'd be nice to have fresh stuff in there for the weekend but then if I do that ill be running a more labored oil for the next few months. On the other hand I haven't ridden my bike that hard this last oil cycle so the oil should be I rather good shape.

I'm not that worried about wearing out this high quality synthetic and I know I'm splitting hairs here but if give the option what would you choose and why?
