    Is there a video on oil change ?

    I cud not find any video online on a oil and filter change. I have 1000 miles and wanted to switch to full synthetic fluid. Don't want to take it to the dealer. Long wait and costly.

    Not a super big priority for most here if you haven't noticed.

    * Very Thankful for the exceptions!

    Sorry to disagree, I see the post as showing the OP how simple it is, and that he can't screw it up ... even a 5 year old can do it.

    The second reply answered the Original Poster's Question if there was a video showing an oil change, which there was.

    I took the response as HUMOR, no need to get our panties in a wad nor start drama on this board.

    Attendees of the last 2 F6B Rallies will VOUCH for our HUMOROUS ways, laughter is part of life. We were even kicked out from a Hotel Pool earlier in the year (Key West ride) because we were laughing so much at each others expense, I blame Fire-Tech, 3putt, DeerSlayer and HornBlower for that one. I had never been ousted from a pool for having too much fun

    Just ask Calvin, our SEXIEST Rider award recipient at the Rally, he rolled with the punches and we all had a good laugh at his expense. I know that he will get me back sometime in the future but we are GROWN men with THICK skin that can take a little bit of sarcasm or in this case humor.

    RELAX and look at it from the funny side, this board is NOTHING like any other Forum on the web, we ALL get along and I have YET to meet anyone at the multiple gatherings that we've had in Daytona or Franklin that I didn't like ! (Dickie, I love you too )


    Let's ride and don't take everything posted too seriously .....



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    I thought the oil change video was funny and informative. I haven't read this book yet, but if it covers Goldwing oil changes then maybe I should...

    Me and you both, XKnight! Like you, I was a little surprised when I saw that reaction to our two posts. Interestingly enough, that video is one of the first ones that pops up when you search for Goldwing oil changes. I actually watched some of it and decided that it would be a good one to link to. Frankly, I thought it was a pretty well-done video and, after all, we were trying to respond to a new rider with the message that it's not a difficult job at all. You just never know how you are going to be received when you post something.

    I took it as a humor. No worries. Plus this will be my first time doing an oil change. So lil cautious.
