Bought the wife's 07 this summer with 1375 on the clock. Since I didn't know what dealer put in at 1K I did the 3 hole change with the oil's I like. No extra drains, whatever they used I replaced 98% of it (+/-).

Every time I check her oil it looks great, runs quieter and is never a blip on my radar.

Wow, your an a$$hole.I dont know what kind (brand) of oil is in my bike.I bought the bike in February, brought it to my mechanic and showered him with about 4k worth of parts. Bought it with 10k on it, and rode it a bit. Now I want to change the oil to synthetic. I was just asking if there was a way to completely get out all of the old oil from the engine. I was asking for opinions on a method, want asking for a common sense answer of there is oil in your oil tank. OBVIOUSLY oil is it. Thanks for the ppl that answered with intelligent answers.

+1. I bought one and it works great. My oil with 1000 miles on it using the scavenger is cleaner than a friends that didn't use it at 200 miles.

Great product. You'll know it's worth the cost when you see that dirty oil coming out of your motor.

Yea, but that mobil one is not the V-TWIN kind is it. Its the kind for cars.But im sure the "car" mobil 1 20w-50 is probably better than Harleys standard oil anyway right ??

If your oil is so full of sludge you think you need to do this, you'd be better off to find out why and fix the problem.
