My first UOA for this bike: 2016 Harley Davidson Ultra Limited FLHTK. I'm the second owner. Purchased May 2018 from original owner with 1024 miles on odometer. My first two oil changes I used Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 fully synthetic. Decided I was going to go Spectro Golden 20W-50 semi synthetic...

I'm sure Harley Davidson is aware what models are moving, and ones that are not. I was also surprised when I saw only 4 Sportster model's for 2020. Guessing lower priced bikes doesn't always mean higher sales. In a couple more years they'll be dropping other newer released models and bringing...

Originally Posted by Oldswagon I should clarify that this is a 2008 Tundra with over 140K on it and I have owned it for most of its life. So warranty is not an issue. I want to use synthetic because of the cold weather I see, as cold as -40 on a rare occasion. It also doesn't see heavy towing or...

Originally Posted by Oldswagon Toyota recommends 30K mile or 50K km OCI for the differentials on my Tundra. They recommend 75w85 but I have been using 75W90 synthetic. Since with the transfer case it takes nearly 8 quarts of gear oil, it's not cheap to replace all this oil. There is no...

Plug and patch it. This combination will last the life expectancy of your tire. Had same thing happen with new Michelins with under 3,000 miles on them. The plug/patch lasted another 60,000 miles trouble free.

Originally Posted by georgemiller wagsrk08 the bigger question is what are you going to do with that $ 1.25 that you save if you don't change your oil yearly? Put it towards a 6 pack of Bud I guess....... I appreciate the positive feedback. There were no break in procedures in the Service or...

I bought new in July 2018 an Ariens 24" Compact Model 920027 223CC Two Stage Snowblower. It came with a Service Manual, but no Engine Manual. I downloaded the Engine Manual since I was interested in oil change intervals. Engine Manual stated if run UNDER 40hrs per year to change oil within 1...

Unless you can find and verify a correct alternative oil filter, I'd fall on the sword and pay the $40 for an OEM BMW filter. BMW's are not cheap! I'm not familiar with BMW service intervals, but you mentioned in original post it's due for it's 12 month servicing. If you only change the oil once...

Arrived home from work Monday evening and noticed a shiny rock in rear wheel (I thought) once bike was in garage. Tried to flick it out with a key, no dice. Grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers and pulled it out then loud hissing sound. Yep, a nail. Wonderful since bike (2016 Harley Davidson...

First thing I'd do once bikes arrives is change the oil.

I usually ride in a season (April thru October) between 3,000 to 6,000 miles the last 11 years. That's daily riding to that one vacation ride. I faithfully change my engine oil & filter no longer than 5,000 miles as recommended by the manufacture (Harley-Davidson). 2018 when I returned home mid...

Mobil 1 0W-20 EP. Can buy almost anywhere. Most M1 oil products have excellent track records.

Sad. So very sad.....

I've ridden some 600-700 mile days going cross country over the years, but never even considered an Iron Butt ride. Especially the 11 day rally. Not my thing. But wish the best for those 100 souls who will try.........

What does your Honda Owners Manual say pertaining to proper break in procedure? I'd go by their recommendation. I believe they know a thing or two about your single cylinder 125cc air cooled engine. I've always followed the manufactures break in procedures over the years with any bike (or...

I used Redline MT (manual transmission) 75W-90 GL-4 in my manual trans & transfer case Toyota truck. Very pleased with the easy shifting on cold mornings. Give them a look. Redline
