Does this mean that if I don't put in a filter with a bypass pressure in that range that a great deal of my oil will not go through the filter?

    Golden Varnish 1998 Valkyrie (pics)

    I have exactly the same bike with 42,000 and I just replaced the valve stem seals. I believe the level of varnish in your engine is a bit extensive. Mine is much less golden. I have been running Rotella T6. I would'nt worry though. With regular oil changes you will be fine. Don't forget that...

    Newbie Needs Help

    I have a 2004 Subaru Forester (not turbo)with 220,000. The old gal is starting to burn a little oil (about a quart every three thousand miles). I have been using synthetic 5W-30 for years but I'm wondering if I should change the oil weight. There is so much info on these boards that I'm totally...
