Think this works? Will stuff not drain out because of the way the plug system works?

waste of $ if you ask me

If you ever watched me do an oil change..... You probably wouldnt think so.

I agree with Red. Waste of your $40.

If you need help, just ask. I would be glad to help, if you need it.

lol...i hear ya...just takes some practice..it may work for you...

what's the problem when you do it? spilling oil?

[HBerry]

Last time I burnt the shit out of my hands trying to get the bolt off before the oil came out, and spilt about a quart of oil on the driveway.

Next time try using a short ratchet extension. And, it helps if you have an oil pan under the bike BEFORE you begin to remove the drain plug.

that's why i always keep a baby seal or a pellican nearby... they're great at cleaning up spilled oil.

The oil pan is always under the bike my friend, and the seals were not available for clean up!

The spilling occours when you are already angry and you attempt to move oil from one container to another.

lol that sucks. Next time just drop the plug in the bucket and wait for it too cool down and make sure there is enough room in the conatiner you are using...the small ones at autozone are pretty good and it has a screen so the bolt will stay there instead of inthe pool of oil...

I think I looked at every gadet on that website to see if I found anything cool.

Similar item yet less costly is the Fram Suredrain @ your local Wal-Mart for $12.50, though there are only 5 variations of threads for that model and they are geared for autos...so double check bolt length and thread pitch before wrenching

a little pricy but it could be worth it to someone.
probably for people with difficult to drain systems. if anyone here has changed the oil in a goldwing or HD they will tell ya....
