I get my oil filters at napa and my oil fro hd I run no synthetic by the way if the bike holds 4 quarts why do the send you five in the kit that's not even enough to do the primary
I'm not sure the 5th quart is for the primary- they only give you one o-ring. Go figure. I always like to have an extra quart of oil on hand so perhaps that's why?
Regardless, they also sell that kit with 4 quarts of oil.

Agreed. That's why I do my own service. Plus I know it's done correctly or whom to blame if it's not.

You though they thought that any Harley owners would be cheapskate enough to check their math?
Just think all the time they save the average Harley owner that makes a six figures income..
Not that they would actually bend over to do it.. The service manager just tells them they are saving on their PM by buying the package...

The 5 qt package is intended for those who have M8 engines as they take 5 qts. HD also offers a 4 qt package.

One standard 11105 o-ring at my dealer: $1.99. Amazon: 100 o-rings for $3.99.
Just bought chrome K&N oil filters from Walmart.com. And that's embarrassing to admit because I really, really hate Walmart. But, $7.88 each and free store pickup is too hard to resist.
How did you get KN filters for that price? On the website they are $15.16/each.
