Tuesday i changed the oil in my dyna glide and used syn3 put 140mi on it,Today i changed the oil in my primary to syn3.And then i pulled 2 plugs on the transmission...wahh? theres not 2 drains? Well being a 'know-it-all' and not paying attention,I pulled the plug on the crank and drained all the brand new,Almost $12.00 a qt syn3 into the drain pan!! and had i drained the primary oil out of the drain pan before i changed the other oil..i could have saved the crank oil and put it back in the engine after i realized what i had done.I love the fact that i'm very smart

 

Remind me not to let you work on my motor,(hehe)

 

you think you messed up changed oil on my 86 sporty new motor and drained the primary refilled crank oil but not primary got six miles down the road when it hit me pushed it home pulled inspection plug all looks good filled back to level fingers crossed

 

I looked for my shoes for 30 minutes this morining, they were on my feet. feel better??

 

Coulda happened to anyone!

 

Reminds me of a guy I knew in Rhode Island bought a Mitsubishi Truck. One day he was changing his oil. He drained it out and went to put the new stuff in but it was already full. He couldnt figure out what was going on, turns out he drained the tranny.

 

Syn 3 is not worth $12 a quart. Get mobil 1 or amsoil for that price.

Greetings,

Oof! Well, I can't say much as I've done not-so-smart things lately as well...Like looking everywhere for my keys and they were still hanging in the lock of the door of the house from the night before!

 

It was your sub counsiousness telling you to get that crap out of the bike and put a good oil in.

 

Not to me
