oil change

karma1968 · #1 12-16-2009, 06:50 PM

is there any mod out there to make changing the oil in a 4 stroke easier? without removing the motor?
pics please if you have made any changes with a elbow or whatever.

thanks

cheers

I have an "Oil Syringe" that I got at Kragen, and you can suck the oil out of the dipstick hole, how bout that???

I cut the head off a bolt, drilled it thru the center, and clamped a piece of hose to it (like the old sporsters

)

That is awesome Bill. Do you remember Hough's? His is a longer hose. I am thinking try it like yours. Think it looks cleaner. Do you remember the bolt size? Come to think of it, have no oil in the Honda right now and can just bring it with me to get another bolt.

Any advise on drilling it? seems like it would be a pain. I am planning on screwing it into wood then drilling

the drill press I used has a vice
I used the orig bolt to plug the hose
I changed to fuel injector hose clamps as well (stronger than the worm gear type)

Very cool, thanks. And would always know where the original bolt is.

I forgot to mention, I put a nut 1/2 way along the bolt to tighten it to the engine
you can see it in the pics above
