Has any one used this system ? Is this worth the $70 bucks

 

It Does what it says. Its up to you if you think its worth it. You will use more oil in your oil change but that the point then isn't it... Also some people said they have made there own scavenger cheaper, But then everyone has different money situations.
I will tell you this, on my new softtail the service manual says 3.5 qts dry and 3.0 qts wet. But when most people change the oil in a softy they say it only takes 2.5 qts makes you wonder where the last qts is ....don't it....swifty

 

Is it worth it? No! I've done half a million miles on bikes without one and cannot see any benefit of getting out that little extra. There will still be old oil in the bike when changing oil.

 

It isn't as straight forward as it sounds. You have to disconnect an oil line or two at the bottom of the oil tank. That in itself is enough trouble to get me not to do it, lol.

My 2014 Breakout , after draining, holds 3 quarts exactly. So I figure there is another half quart of old oil in there. Not enough to hurt anything, may not be that much left over.

 

Oh, I will add this.

I have been running Lucas and I am going to change to Amsoil again. So to get all of the Lucas out, I might go this route. Would I use it every time? Probably not, but it does seem to work well.

 

Thanks for all your input..

 

If you have ever disassembled a Harley engine, you will see that there is not a quart of oil left inside. Maybe 8 ounces.

The tool is a placebo.

 

One version of that system uses the pipe plug in the bottom of the engine case. Over tighten that one and you got yourself a split case.

 

I just used this kit two days ago. I'm a little early for my 5K but I was installing the premium oil cooler and the HD360 put in at the dealer 1K service was quite dark.

It was a little difficult re-installing the oil return line (Softail) but otherwise went as per their video. I changed to HD Syn3. The big problem I have now is that it is hard to check the oil level on the dipstick as the oil is too clear!

The oil line removal tool and drain hose are easy enough to source locally - the oil filter/puck is the item you're really paying for... Paying $70 for a complete kit or making something similar yourself is your own decision. The Scavenger puck is nicely knurled making installation and removal easier (not much space there...)
