I've done 8 changes on mine, no trouble at 22 ft lbs and they do catch metal.

Crumbs, what mileage did you do those at? That's a lot of oil changes mate!

I have always done filters up hand tight on every vehicle I've worked on. Is that not best practice?

I only have 2800 on it now. I've tested multiple weights and brands. I do as hand tight as I can then give it a 1/4 turn with the socket. Mine too came with a washer from the factory.

Could you give a summary of the services you've done, at what mileage and what oil you used and to what effect?

Also what's all this jazz with not changing the filter on the first one? Seems silly.

Sorry, all I'll say is I'm on HP4S now and next is Castrol Power RS 4T 5w-40 and that's saying to much.
Oil can be a very touchy subject I've noticed........Sad
I always change the filter also.

Just I have a cuss of car oil I bought cheap. Most is either 10-40w semi synth or 5-30w fully synth.

Motorcycle oil Jaso-MA rated. You need wet clutch stuff, absolutely no car oil.

I always change filter. The only draw back is about a quart stays in the motor only 4 quarts come out motor holds about. 5 quarts
Have not changed mine yet but will soon and I will check for washer ! I thought all new bike drain bolts where magnets.

RE: First oil change - Fleetwood_imp - 04-21-2014

This crush washer you guys speak of, is it a washer on the drain bolt? Or are you referring to something else? My drain bolt does not have a washer, should I stop by the dealer and pick one up?
