Changed my oil in my fatboy the other day. The service manual says 3.5 quarts, but it is showing full at only 2 quarts 22 ounces. I did not scavenge the oil lines, so I know there was some oil left in there. Does this sound normal?

 

Happens all the time.....When you change the oil add 2.5 quarts, fire it up for a min, then re-check......add oil to the properlevel after this. It is easier to add oil than it is taking it out if you over fill.

 

my book said 3.5 ots. but it was more like 3.0 after i ran and recheck sevral times. just keep adding till its full.........kerry
