    Why do people insist on wasting oil? Three hole oil change is wrong. Read your service manual. The transmission oil is not ready to be changed at the same time as oil and primary....just saying. This is a waste of oil and money

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      Are you drinking the oil after you change yours? oil is 5k, primary is 10k and transmission is 20k...I know math is hard but hang in there and I'll walk you through it tiger ...... first time is an oil change (5k), second time is oil and transmission (10K), 3rd time is oil change(15k), 4th time is ALL 3 (20k) rinse and repeat. Hence " 3 hole oil change". jesus this is the shit I wake up to...do better.

    Tip for the oil filter slipping. Mine did the same thing, I had some skateboard tape ruff on one side and peel adhesive on the other side. I cut strips of it stuck it to the inside of the oil filter wrench and used it. The ruff side will grip the filter and you'll be able to get it off without it slipping.

      You're very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that the video was helpful to you! Learning how to do your own oil changes can be a great way to save money and take more control over the maintenance of your bike. By doing the oil changes yourself, you not only save on labor costs but also gain a better understanding of your bike's needs. It's a valuable skill that can potentially extend the lifespan of your engine.

    Im not mechanically inclined, I bought every item you recommended here and changed my oil and transmission. (Only at 5k miles) My transmission oil was so clean for a sec I thought it was the oil I just changed but then I saw that you recommend doing that at 20k. Gotta still do my primary. This was a great video! Would like to see another done specifically on what else to check and service at 5 or 10k miles and also how to change spark plugs. Thanks Steve!

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      glad the videos helped and saved you some money! It wont hurt to do all 3 holes after the first initial 5k miles because you can really check for metal scraps in your oil and see if you have anything crazy going on in there. I do have a spark plug video I just put out about a month ago here on the M8's th-cam.com/video/He3g2dMXBGg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L_X60C692sVgNatS I haven't done a whole video on maintenance schedules but this link here will give a great idea of what needs checked and when www.stonewallhd.com/Service/Maintenance-Intervals

    Steve AS ALWAYS...You nailed it. I do my own services as well and do it exactly as you just showed. The only difference is...I refuse to use a Harley Oil filter.
    Harley filters are made by FRAM (Death in a can) which is THE WORST oil filter there is. The only other option is to use a Chrome KnN.
    AGAIN like oil...thats another argument.
    Thing is...youde be surprized how many people dont know the difference in filters.

      @sikbaggers  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you Sir! Never really had an issue with the HD versions but I usually run the Amsoil filters...do you happen to know the efficiency rating at what micron level for the k&n? without me having to do a bunch of research lol let me know...all I could ever find on the HD is 5 microns but that means nothing to me if it doesn't tell me an efficiency rating...like 90% efficient at stopping 5 microns? 70? who knows lol

    • @sirsloth8579
      @sirsloth8579 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@sikbaggers ... I get what you're saying lol. But according to KnN... the efficiency rating for their filters depending upon the application is between 25 and 100 microns. The thing that I like about their filter is there is you can use conventional oil as well as synthetic And still have the same level of protection. I have been an auto technician for 45 yearsAnd I refuse to use a frame oil filter on my car or any for any car what alone on my sled. Working on cars over the years I have for the years I have done my research just like you with bikes and found that frame is the worst filter out there. The only thing that they have is a paper element inside inside and I lot of times the Element just decentegrates Leaving no kind of protection at all shouldn't at all in the element element after it disintegrates ends up in your engine With no way to filter it out.

      Thank you for sharing your experience! HD's prices for maintenance can be frustrating for sure. I'm glad that the information provided helped alleviate some of your fears. The goal is to provide useful guidance and insights to make tasks like oil changes easier and less daunting. Hopefully, you won't have to resort to using a chisel to remove the filter..that really sucked but was a rare instance of an HD dealership over tightening the filter on a previous oil change. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding your motorcycle maintenance or any other related topics, feel free to ask. I'm here to assist you and provide the information you need.

    I've been on the fence about buying a Harley because of all the maintenance fee stories I hear about. This was a huge help to know doing it yourself is not a big deal. Now the other question is can I trust the engines to keep going? So hard to trust it when I see oil sumping issues and things like that.

    All fluid levels are spot on. Excellent instructions, easy to follow. Saved me a good chunk of dough.
    One remark: if you use a vented dip stick that happens to move with you from bike to bike, make sure the measurements are taken with the original OEM dipstick or you screw up the oil change (ask me how I know 😂). I thought I overfilled until I realized that the dipstick is with me since my 96ci days.

    Had the same issues the other day getting my filter off that the dealer put on because I busted a hole in my oil cooler from the previous owner having it too tight.

    When checking the trans oil level the manual says to put the dip stick in and not screw it in. insert the pit stick until the threads touch.

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  ปีที่แล้ว

      From the service manual 1.Park motorcycle on a level surface on jiffy stand. 2.See Figure 1. Remove transmission filler plug/dipstick. Wipe dipstick clean. 3.Install filler plug/dipstick until O-ring contacts the case. Do not tighten. 4.See Figure 2. Remove filler plug/dipstick. Check lubricant level on dipstick. Proper oil level is between the Add (A) (1) and Full(F) (2) marks
      Im not sure what year of bike you have but this is for the 19' M8 but always go by what your manual says. Please make sure yours says not to screw it in and doesnt say do not tighten...huge difference.

    Just purchased my first harley 2023 road glide coming from a metric 2004 nomad. Harley made it sound like rocket science to change the oil. They did say they would do the labor portion free for the first oil change so I may let them. But im a killer shade tree mechanic who actually enjoys a sunday morning oil change so I will be doing mine from then on. This video is great, I subbed, liked and saved this video for when it is time to do the changes. I'm assuming the oil type/weight is all the same for all 3 holes? I'll be sure to look in my manual, and I didn't know that there were different intervals, ill look closely at that as well. Excellent tips all around, this vid will make it a breeze. Looking foward to checking out some more of your videos.

    Another "pro" to taking the derby cover off before you drain your primary is it allows you to check the level first - I.E. you will be able to tell if you are having the "M8 transmission fluid transfer into the primary" issue. This is a real issue and happens to many people who probably have no clue about it.

    Great video but I have a question. In the video you say to check the transmission fluid level while on the jiffy stand. Even the service manual says to check it in this manner. What do you do when there is no jiffy stand, such as is the case with a trike? The service manual I have is for trikes and even it says to check on the jiffy stand. ????

    You explain everything in so much detail and it's enjoyable to watch all your how-to videos. Well, I did I bought a Road King for Christmas and traded in my Dyna. My question to you is I bought the 5 oil changes when I purchased it. My thinking is, it's under warranty so they can look the bike over and fix things as I ride it, I always after the warranty is over start doing everything myself. I always use syn 3 in all 3 holes, Harley dealer told me they stopped doing that and put syn gear oil in 2 holes, I hit 1200 miles and the first service is after the holidays should I tell them my way, or their way. Because I will have to do it that way? Your thought on the syn oil versus syn gear oil in 2 holes? Thank you, Merry Christmas!!!!

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      hey glad to help and thanks for the comment...I normally dont dive off into "whats the best oil" conversation because everyone thinks their choice is the best choice lol ...what I can tell you is this and this is fact, no opinion...if you change your fluids when your supposed to you can run whatever oil you want. Most oils have additives packages added in for extreme conditions....unless you are riding i the dessert or or the Antarctica everyday you are riding in normal conditions. The key is not what you choose to put in its making sure you change it when you need to. With that being said I have ran harleys syn 3, redline, and amsoil...i have never noticed any difference in the operation of the bikes, or the break down of wear parts (excessive metal shavings in the oil) when using any of these oils. So which one is best? The cheapest one is the best. They all do the same thing. You will have people scream and yell about how great one product is over another, one shifts smoother than the other... im here to tell you, it dont! They all work great if you chnage it when you are supposed to. I am currenlty running amsoil because my buddy is a dealer and I get it cheaper. But if syn3 was cheaper I would use that. I hope this helps you and if you have any questions let me know.
