I just did the first oil change on my new to me CB1100@2013, using Rotella T6 and a Purolator PL14612 oil filter.

Thought that it would be nice to share the photos as it may be helpful for other forum members:

For a pretty affordable (but good) set of JIS screwdrivers:

And here a portable set (made in Japan):

That is some purdy oil draining from the sump?

Sorry, what do you mean?

In a side note: a JIS screwdriver will be a perfect fit with a JIS screw (used in Hondas) and wont mar the screw.

A trick to see if it is really a JIS screwdriver is to see if it will fit and *stay* on top of the screw unsupported:

These are what I, and a number of us, have: https://www.amazon.com/VESSEL-MEGADORA-S...359&sr=1-6

I loves my JIS screwdrivers. Had 'em for years, and my brake fluid reservoir screws are flawless.

Speaking of oil, I was going to post a link recently to a listing on Walmart's website for a case of Castrol full synthetic 10/40 for like $43 per case of six, in case anyone likes that brand. But, I think that sold out pretty quickly, as it's up quite a bit higher now.

Nothing like a job well done, eh Valkyrie?

Yes, sir! My CB1100 seems to running even smoother now with new oil.

Poking around the Walmart site again, while a case of six quarts of Castrol synthetic 10/40 went up to $65, more than Amazon now, individual bottles were $8.88, still a smokin' deal. I tried buying a few, but no joy, looks like it sold out. Oh well, I just did my change, and have four for next year as well.

I didn't know about the JIS screwdrivers until I got on this forum. Been riding and wrenching since 1976. Thanks, guys.

By 'merican standards, that sounds expensive.

I used synthetic diesel oil in the CB1100 (MA/MA2 compliant).

Whoah Whoah Whoah, stop right there GO. Don't want this to turn into an oil thread.
