Whilst he had the ability to change his views and in that sense they were not permanent, his insight and ability to understand the truth, meant that there was no need to change his views.

Ordinary beings operating from conditioned existence continually have different views/opinions about this and that ...but does a Buddha actually have changing personal views/opinions about dhamma ? I would imagine not.

Personally I don't think that adapting teachings to suit the capacity of the listener would come under a heading of views and opinions.
