john you said enough, no need to explain take your word for it although i have my assumptions for the reasoning

 

[GregoXB]

LOL.... what does he think he is doing and what is he actually doing?

Well that sucks, I'm getting ready to switch back from conventional oil to synthetic after a top end rebuild break in period. I don't want that excess in the mix. I trust you will address this sir rather than delete it please.

you'll be very sorry that you did that.
this entire thread is the proverbial "can of worms" that should not be opened and should be deleted.

I'll chime in and say that is the dumbest idea ever.

Mixing a tiny amount of synthetic and natural oil is fine.


Still worried? Flush out the primary with a case of synthetic and the drain plug out... ya that's what I thought you'd say... haha

ROFL... I'm just going to pretend I didn't watch that video. Something happening there but if it don't bother you people why let it bother me.
Hey, I hate to see you go Cooter and congrats on the new EBR. Be safe, get one of those new cool airbag vests, this will take our minds off that oil change video

Aw the video was gone before i got a chance to see the stupidity.... someone pm me a link to it!

Unwilling to mix conventional with synthetic I'm sorry to say the video was ABSOLUTELY true. I was in need of an oil change today and easily found the extra oil and brother it's a LOT more than seen in that video. Weird but true you are NOT draining all of the oil per the SM procedure.

PM if you want to know an easy way to extract it all. I get we don't promote non-SM procedure tactics but DAM that's too much dirty oil.

Not that I'm the brightest bulb on the forum but, that really sucks ! I'm off doing something else outside for a change and, I missed something stupid, why does that always happen ?
