RE: Total Oil Change
ORIGINAL: Hackd
I checked out the Rogue Chopper site. Their product seems to be a decent idea if you want to purge your system of old oil. If I was gonna do that, I'd probably run a few quarts of the new oil through the setup, re-drain the oil pan/bag. Then fill anew before installing the filter. Remember, on the EVO oiling system, the last stop before the tank/pan is the filter.

RE: Total Oil Change
I would support doing what John suggests. Once a year getting out the 24 oz. out for a better winter storage prepared engine.
From what I am reading it looks as if it's not that difficult.

Sorry to dig this thread up from the depths, but ive just bought my first Harley and am trying to learn a bit.
 \\;
Based on \\;Hackd saying the filter is the last stop for the oil, is there any benefit to removing the oil return line at the tank, other than being able to pump out the oil in the return line?
 \\;
Basically im trying to say if i run the bike without the filter until fresh oil comes out, then put a new filter on, should i \\;have any worries, and does that keep oil pressure within the engine???
 \\;
 \\;
Im still after the gear oil capacity for a 95 Heritage Softail too if anyone happens to be able to help me out.

Cheers.
