Scavenger Oil Change Thoughts
I installed my Jagg 10 Row cooler yesterday and used the Scavenger Oil Change System for the first time prior to installing the cooler.
It does take a little longer to change the oil and a bit messier but after starting the bike and letting it run for about 5 minutes to check for leaks, the oil in the case looked like new, clean oil.
Just got back from a 75 mile ride and the oil still looks new & clean. In fact it's hard to see it on the dipstick now compared to the always slightly black oil that you get after a normal oil change without the Scavenger System.
No leaks from the Jagg Cooler connections, so it was a good day.

I have the Scavenger for my Evo. It works like advertized. Different setup for the TC engines due to how oil lines run. I like the idea of "clean" oil but really wonder if it makes all that much difference in the total scheme of things. Others here will say it does not.

Don't have a scavenger system and don't doubt they work as advertised. But in all the oil changes I've done in all my vehicles I have never gotten all the old oil out and have not noticed any difference. JMO..

It may not make a difference but its such a nice sight to see clean oil when you go to check it.

I have never used that system on any of my bikes and none have been worse for wear no matter how many miles I have logged on them. I can think of a laundry list of items I could spend that money one but again, this is one man's opinion....
