Ordered the Scavenger
My wife just ordered the scavenger oil change system for my birthday. I have been reading the literature on them and I am really looking forward to learning how to use it . Bought my 20w50 Amsoil last week and am hoping it performs as well as everyone says. The weather here has been pretty nice for much of the last month so I have been riding quite a bit. Got a little cold last night coming home but still had fun.

So it gets all the oil out , you have all new , clean oil, but it is a waste of money? How so? Not arguing with you, I just fail to see how doing a complete oil change as opposed to a partial can be a waste of money. A new engine is what, three thousand?

Of course, synthetic works for some guys and they aren't afraid of running it for a while. Unless I am mistaken, I believe Posserider up there uses Amsoil and doesn't change it but every 10k miles. Most of the guys around here would die of a panic attack if they thought they had to run 10k on their oil. It certainly works well for Posse, though. He has a pile of miles on his bike and has had no oil related issues.

Well, I guess the bottom line for me is that when you look at the cost of the bike as a whole, it doesn't make sense, to me, to get nit picky about the cost of maintenance incidentals. I agree with you on the 10K oil change, I will probably change every 4-5.
Possierider, it is called the scavenger, Rogue choppers makes it. It allows you to get all the oil out at change time. If I knew how to post a link I would, but you can put Rogue Choppers in Google and check it out, they have a video of it.

RE: Ordered the Scavenger
Thanks I will look it up. Yeah I run 10k on an oil change & have almost 60k on the bike now. I first started using it on my 1 ton hauling trailers all over the US. Did 60k oil changes on that (had a dual filter set up on it) & ran that truck up to 489,000 miles in 4 yrs. with no oil use. Guy that bought it in Ca. still running it 2 yrs later. To each his own on oil changes. Amsoil works for me (from exp.) & I trust it.
