I would agree with that. A good synthetic is good for 10,000 miles and the Harley oil filter filters down to 5 microns.

I don't think this is the simile you are looking for.

Rather, you want a complete blood transfusion, replacing every little molecule, to ensure that only fresh new blood is flowing in the system.

This is why, I have over 20k in my bike, with every reciept to prove that as some don't or find that hard to believe by just looking at pictures here on this website of my bike and yes some of that is labor for things I have not been able to do myself for one reason or another. I just spent another $79 and some change for the scavenger with the delivery charge. If I can spend that much on this bike what is another $79 bucks to assure myself I get a complete 100% new, clean and fresh oil with each and every oil change I do from this point on. I don't know how that can be anything less then benificial for my scooter. If we all leave behind 20% to 22% dirty, broken down oil in our bikes when we do oil changes how can running on 100% clean oil be anything less then a good thing for my motor? Yes, I know we have all been doing it the "old" and "convetional" way for years and that there are bikes out there with 1000's of miles on them the old way too. I still think if there are bikes out there, inluding my own in the past, with all those miles on them how many more miles will a person get using the scavenger? If I get NOTHING but peace of mind for my $79 bucks out of the deal then so be it. IMHO it will be well worth it!!

Boy, from one extreme to another over this thing. When one goes in for dialysis for lets say a kidney that no longer functions properly as an example, they run the dialysis untill ALL of your blood has been filtered and cleaned. If you went in for dialysis once per week and they only cleaned 80% of your blood guess what? By week 4 you are probably close to death if in fact you have not already died. If I was the one needing the dialysis and I went in and if they did not complete the entire filtration of my blood I doubt seriously I would be satisfied with an 80% filtration as compared to the 100% of my blood. Why? Because I know that 80% is NO WHERE near as good or as effective as a 100% filtration of my blood. Now here comes the scavenger and we are talking oil changes. I want my bike to operate to the fullest potential of all I have put into it. I want the inside of my bike just as clean as the outside of my bike. I want my bike to operate as cleanly as I can possibly make it operate. I want my bike to operate at cooler tempratures as I can possibly make it operate. I also want my bike to operate as long as I can possibly get out of it too. No one can ever convince me that leaving 20% of my old oil in each and every oil change I do over the years is as good as a complete 100% clean oil change!! The key here to all of my statments are the words I use like, I, ME, MINE and so on. This is what I think, feel and believe to be true about my bike, my oil and my oil changes. What anyone else wants to believe or how they feel or what they think is fine by me too! If someone thinks that this is foolish and not needed, fine! I am OK with that! All I am saying is that I bought this oil scavenger so that I can get a complete, 100% clean oil change each and everytime I change the oil on my bike because I think thats whats best for it!! $80.00???, pennies compared to what I have invested in my bike. If anyone else wants to swing by, use it for free, knock yourself out! It's on me! If not, thats fine too! I am going to do a complete, 100% oil change from this point on. Why? Because thats what I think is best for my bike, period!!!

BUT, being the CLEAN FREAK that I am, if this was available all those years ago, I would have had one then too. Out with the bad, in with the good. NOW, I am out with 100% of the bad and in with the good! When I clean my scooter, I don't do the whole thing then leave my white wall's filthy and walk away from it, I clean 100% of my scooter, white walls and all!!!! NOW, when I change my oil, I change 100% of my oil, simple as that! I swear, I don't have a problem with anyone who chooses to change 80% of their oil, I really don't!! If a person is happy with that, I am happy for them too!!! Thats what freedom of choice is all about! Personally, the first time I hook up my oil scavenger and watch that baby pump filth out of it until I see that nice, fresh, clean virgin oil comming through I'm gonna pop a chubby and my scooter, my pride and joy is gonna in turn treat me like a and then I am gonna get right back on it and ride it until I drop just so I can get that oil dirty and then look forward to the next time I can change my oil again!!! And with that I am going to !!!!!
