Has anyone used a Scavenger when changing there engine oil.

Not sure but changing to Synthetic (Mobil1 of course) and want to flush the mineral oil out so it doesn't creat a mixed blend of oil.

From Genuine HD360 to Mobil1 will the 2 cause any issues.

Thanks Scotty,

Its just that I have read there is around 24-32 ounces of oil in the system when oil is drained. Sounds like a lot of oil to me.

Here is a post I copied from another forum. 

 A typical scavenge type oil change might go something like this:

Step 1: Run the engine for a bit to get it up to temperature

Step 2: Block up the jiffy stand or use something to get your bike reasonably level.

Step 3: Remove plug from bottom of drain tube under the bike. Drain dirty oil into container.
 

Step 4: Install drain plug and replace o-ring if it is torn. If it is still in good condition, reuse.

Step 5: Top off oil tank with fresh oil up to the full mark on the dipstick.

Step 6: Use the quick connect tooling and remove the oil return line from the oil tank. It is the one closest to the filler neck on the tank. If your bike has a small aluminum or chrome disc at the tank where the oil line goes in, just grab the disc with your fingers and pull it back. It is only held there by an o-ring to keep it from sliding down the oil line. Pull the line out a bit and move to side to allow you to slip the length of clear tubing over the line. Put the other end of the clear tubing in your scavenge oil bucket.

Step 7: Start the engine and run for about 10 seconds, then shut engine off. This is to purge the oil supply line from the tank, to the pump, then to the filter.

Step 8: Now is the time to remove and change the engine oil filter. Install whatever brand of oil filter you prefer on the engine at this time, hopefully an HD filter.

Step 9: Top off the oil tank again.

Step 10: Start the engine and monitor how much oil is going into the scavenge bucket. Notice how black it is at first. Around 20- 30 seconds or so, it will start to lighten in color as it goes through the tubing. You should have collected somewhere around 24-32 ounces of dirty oil in the bucket. Shut off the engine.

Step 11: Remove the clear tubing from the oil line. Install the oil return line back into the oil tank. You will hear/feel a click as the line snaps back into the connector.

Step 12: Top off the oil tank.

That's all there is to it and now you have completely fresh oil in your engine, no more dirty oil in the oil galleries.
 

Scotty,

Oil and oil filters have come a long way as you said with todays oil and filters.

Advise taken.

Thanks again. 

OK, I found the link where I saw the scavanger in action.

Just though I would post it FYI. Enjoy.
