Changing your oil is easy 12 Years, 5 Months ago

This thread discusses the Content article: Changing your oil is easy

Just completed my pre-Street Vibrations (Reno) check up and oil change. I used Amsoil 10W40 MCF and thier filter SMF103C (Crome). I have heard a lot of good things about Amsoil, but couldn't believe it when I started up the motor. It was so much more quiet than before. Changing the oil on this bike is so much easier than the Virago I used to own. Good job Yamaha.
