So, the guy at the service counter of my local dealer sold me four quarts of oil... 2 of Redline 20/50 and 2 of the v-twin primary case oil 70/80.
&nbsp\\;
I asked for four quarts of 20/50.&nbsp\\; Was charged on my receipt for four 20/50.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I just did an oil change, and luckily I put the two 20/50's in first, then put nearly a full quart of the primary oil before I noticed it was not what I thought it was.
&nbsp\\;
Its a 25 mile trip each way to the dealer - do you all suppose I am safe taking the bike, or should I drive the cage (whether in mid to high 60's)
&nbsp\\;
thanks
&nbsp\\;

I would drain whatever you put into the bike back into the empty containers, take the cage to the stealership and demand a full refund and take my money elsewhere.

 

I'd drive over...after draining the 3 qts and taking it to them to dispose of, and ask for a little compensation of some kind for the aggravation and expense...but that's just me.

 

I'd show them empty (or refilled) bottles and tell them they gave me the "wrong stuff" and "I was stupid enough to put it in my bike without looking at the label" and ask if there's anything they could to help me out... it may be their fault they gave you the wrong stuff but it's your fault you made it out of the store without checking it. Not to mention you put the stuff in the bike without checking the label....

Sorry but +1

 

It is always helpful to always READ THE LABEL first...

 

&nbsp\\;
+2&nbsp\\; Never put anything in your bike without reading the label first.&nbsp\\;

 

Yes, the irritation I am feeling goes both ways.&nbsp\\; Note that I didn't start this as a dealer bashing thread.&nbsp\\; Was really looking for advice on if you all that it would be OK to ride.
&nbsp\\;
I've already emptied the oil.&nbsp\\; We'll see what the dealer has to say about the deal.

 

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;Count your mistake as a lesson learned. Go to Autozone get some good syn oil, and be more careful next time . I don't think the dealership can do anything for you.

 

Alcohol must somehow be involved on this deal.
