@DmakAttack we usually just clean the bolt and the area around the case where it goes in and that usually keeps her in there pretty tight. locktight can be a bitch getting off next oil change. not saying its not a good idea just sharing my own opinion.
Your clean new oil will be contaminated as soon as you start the bike. There is still old dirty oil in the system (anything up to 1 litre). Try using a Rogue Choppers Scavenger system for a 100% complete oil change.
@MediaGlow Just a bit of precision. After a little talk with a certified french HD mechanics, I learned you can use 100% synthetic 20W50 oil. He told me you can use such oil on a Dyna Fat Bob and have absolutely no problem.
If H-D suggest that, it'll work but I would say that is really just a back up.
I would try to stick to better quality oil abd synthetic is probably the way to go - although that tends to be dearer, with the best for H-D's coming from the states generally, but check around.
Thank you for this video, it was very interesting! I have a question though: what other oil would you recommend, aside from the (absolutely overpriced) HD oil?
I looked in my manual, and it says (rough translation in English, because I'm French): "If no standard HD oil is available, please use diesel engine oil." So, what does that mean? Anything like 10W40 or 20W40 could fit? Thanks and have a good day!
Excellent video thanks!

@MediaGlow > NO i am not selling them. I use one for my oil changes and was blown away by how much leftover dirty oil it removed.

@BeerBandito99 Agree completely - I assume you are selling these scavenger systems - but certainly worth considering.
