I got rid of my Suzuki and got a Harley because I was told that as often as you have to add oil, you never have to change it.....haha

I have had 2 motors with over 10 years service&nbsp\\;each that i never changed the oil. They ran fine no problems, changing oil is for suckers!
Oh yeah....... they were Briggs and Stratton 3 H.P.

For Pete's sake! Everybody knows you're supposed to use butterscotch pudding in the crankcase. Chocolate in the tranny, and vanilla in the primary.

Even us Blonde's know this. CRISCO OIL in all 3 holes! I read somewhere? that you never change it again.

I have an oil bag in my tour pak full of oil.&nbsp\\; I run it to the intake line of the oil pump, then hang the return line behind the back tire.&nbsp\\; The new oil goes in from the tour pak and dumps back on the road behind me.&nbsp\\; I fill the oil bag every time I fill the tank, never run out that way.&nbsp\\; Also helps keep others from following too close.

That's bizzare. I have a lawn mower I bought in 1974 and have only changed the oil once, at which time I put synthetic in it. Still going strong. Thing is, I hate the lawn mower, but love my HD, so I do change the oil. Bottom line is either syn is really good, or Briggs makes a better engine. Not even an oil pump on these things, just a paddle wheel that splashes oil around[&:]

Good advise&nbsp\\; [8D]
ORIGINAL: Donny

I had a 69 nova with a straight 6, and put over 50,000 on it and never changed the oil. I also knew the&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;previous 2 owners, and they never changed the oil, and the 1st guy had it since 1980. The car ran&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;perfect, and had over 200,000 when I sold it.
