This is a joke, right? Just kidding. You may get blasted but I will tell you what I do, and just did this weekend. Drain, change filter, add 2.5 liters of oil. (this puts the level above the glass) Don't ask what type of oil. Biker Mike. -----Original Message----- From: wschase@...

Hey, 2.5 L is molded into the engine casing, which is the amount stated in the manual for amount to add with a filter change. Hummmm... Ya think they want you to change the filter _every_ oil change since they didn't include the "non filter change" spec on the casing?

Please do this (I just did). I've used these phone tallies on housing budget issues and they are the most effective way to spend a couple of minutes....it is law that every comment must be tallied.
