The best funnel I have found is a empty bottle of water wetter with the bottom cut out. It screws right into the oil hole and its like hitting the easy button.   |

looks handy. I now buy the 5qt jug of Mobile 1. I dont really trust removing one qt and hoping I have 4 left....so I got a measured on/off funnel.....I pour in one qt, it has a hose that goes in the fill hole then you turn on the flow..........do it 4 times and save the rest....someday Ill get a free oil change out of it......well free in that the 5qt jug costs about the same as 4 1qt bottles so after 4 rounds of changing I should end up with a sort of free gallon of oil.........

Speaking of oil, how is the un-refined oil situation in the pan-handle ??

no thread hi-jack intended, but how is the WaterWetter doing for you?
added to existing 50/50 mix or diluted with water as they suggest?

I really like the water wetter and it performs as it says it will. I only keep a 10 percent solution of anti freeze and a whole bottle of wetter. If you live up north you can use a 50/50 mix with no problems but being in S Fla its hot and with the lower concentration of anti freeze it keeps the bike additionally cooler. |

What is this special funnel your using and where can I get one? I got it at wally world (near the oil) made by Hoppy and its essentially the tube you use to fill a tranny, the one that screws onto a bottle of fluid and has a turn spout. well its just attached to a 1 Qt tub with measured marks on it.......simple thing |
