I purchased the Rogue Scavenger for my 96" er and unable to get the oil return line reconected. Even all my Genis riddin' buds unable to do it. 75$ for the dealer to haul it in and had it in place in 10 minutes. Of course they wouldn't share the secret with me and I have not got the nerve to try it again. I like what it should do. I'll try it again some day. I agree with a lot of folks, quality oil, filter, and regular changes will do just fine.
Bought the scavenger for my 2007 FLSTF, worked great until I went to D&D fatcat 2:1 exhaust and the pipe configuration prevented me from getting oil line off; that sucked.
I now use this scavenger on my Roadking, will always use this for getting all the dirty oil out.
Why leave approximately a quart of degraded dirty oil in your crankcase to mix with the new oil you just put in?

Scavenger
quote=TUCCI;10261124]Chop did you have the scavenger system or did you try working around it? Wish you woulda tried PM'ing or posting a thread before hauling it in to a dealership. What model 96" bike do you have since they all have different hookup?[/quote]
I purchased the Rogue Scavenger System for my 2009 Heritage, 96"er. Seems it worked ok but I was unable to get the plastic retaining clip or something to grasp the oil return line at the tank. Instructions said to be careful with the clip and I don't think I abused it. Dealer installed a new clip but for some reason the wrighter upper would not explain details of the repairs and was unable to locate my old clip. The manager or owner was not there at the time and I have been told the service writer is no longer there. No one seemed to mind when I told them I would no longer be there either. I still have the system and maybe some day will try it again. Smoky Mountain H-D service was glad to see me and wants me to come back. The dealer on Lovell Road was the seller and the one I will not use again. Poot, kinda got off the inital subject.....

I ride my bike, change the oil....take it for a 5 mile ride and change the oil again.
not really.....THAT is WHAT oil FILTERS are for!!!....they trap the BAD stuff...(just drain the oil, change filter, refill AND GO!)
