RE: Tranny and primary oil change
follow the manuals, owners manual or service manuals, the primary will take 26 oz., many say to just throw in a qt., too much oil will cause difficulties in finding neutral and and possible some shifting problems. when i add the engine oil i put in the first two qts. install dip stick. fire it up, let the engine run for about a minute check for leaks, shut it down, wait a couple of minutes and fill to within a half inch to the full mark,this is usually just right. have fun.

Pulling off the oil filter is the worst of it. Use a piece of stiff cardboard rammed under the filter before you loosen it. The cardboard will catch the oil and direct it down into your catch pan........pg

Like the others said - don't overfill and follow the exact amounts the manual states. Enjoy the satisfaction of maintaining you ride...the dealers make enough money off of us as it is!
