Ok, a friend told me he could teach me how to change my own oil, and therefore avoid the high price that the harley dealer was going to charge me.

I headed down to a local harley dealer today, picked up a chrome filter, and 4 bottles of synthetic, and just about fell over when I saw it was $92 (canadian) for all of it.

WTF

 

Did they have a gun or knife when they asked for your money?

 

Unfortunately I can't say they did... feels like they should have though.
How much does the dealer usually charge for a synthetic change?

 

Wait until you gotta do the other two holes...

 

Mine charges about $160.(for all 3 holes) But the HD syn & oil filter is only $55. I would look for a different oil source like one of the Amsoil dealers or Mobil1Vtwin. But I do know oil in Canada is expensive.

 

Yeah maybe I'll take it back there and go grab some Amsoil...

Supposedly they don't like you using that stuff, but my guess is because they aren't making any coin off the Amsoil sale as opposed to the harley branded stuff.

 

Better check your Amsoil price first.

 

...I think I would Have said . No thanks .
U could have Had it Delivered from the States Cheaper

 

Yeah the nice weather outside got me thinking I better change it... didn't even doubt the price till I got home. What a rip.

btw, nice avatar.

 

I get my K&N chrome filters for about 16 Cdn from a local mc shop (not HD). Shop is a Ducati/Triumph dealer who also sells a lot of various used bikes. Carquest is where I get my Amsoil and the manager gives me a fair price on MCV that he stocks. I think the last batch I paid 9.85 quart. I normally buy a load of Amsoil for my cars, truck and mc at the same time.
