If you look up the subject in the knowledge vault, you will be overwhelmed with the number of posts concerning this topic. However, just a regular oil change with filter and you are home free! Of interest, the posts in the KV have very good techniques to use for flushing the engine so you may want to check them out anyway. The one I like the best is to simply do a second oil change within a short time frame. |

I swapped to synthetic at ~4000 miles, then did another change at 5000 to get myself back on schedule and 'flush' the rest of the regular oil out. Mookie: Sorry I missed you yesterday. I was out riding when you called and didn't see it until past 7pm. Pontiac Trail and Orchard Lake roads both have some really nice parts to them -we'll ride them sometime. Bryan |

I'm not sure if I'm going to go or not...apparently it was changed from the Sterling Heights one to Troy. Bah. We'll see. I've no idea what the time will be, though, check our site (www.battletwins.com) for that, Spidey should post it. |
