Default OIL CHANGE

Do I have to get out all the dino oil out of the engine before changing to syn. oil. I know some of the old oil stayes in the engine and would it hurt to mix that little bit with the new syn. oil. THANKS. 2008 Fat Bob

Just drain the old dino oil out and then put the syn in. You don't need to do the complete scavenge change to get every little drop out.....it won't hurt it.
