    MOPAR advises at least annually due moisture adsorption. I don't have any data to share that validates their recommendation. This is common for many engine makers, though. How much is cya vs. needed I have no idea since most people don't run that few miles. Maybe more so today since the pandemic.

    yup - it's the % of oil over or under nominal fill you got to worry about. An extra 1/2 quart to a Harley motor sump pukes oil or burns up the air-cooled motor. (Harley's have 5 quart sumps, btw, large for only a 2 jug engine) But a regular 8 cylinder truck engine with 7 quart sump? ppfffttt

    No worries - Ford CEO fixing his error by moving plants to Mexico and blaming on UAW contract. It's all good.

    And the Hellcat motor in cars. They just no-brained the truck motor without a thought. 5W-30 is the bomb for truck motors. 0W-30 in nordic winters, 5W-40 for desert summers and/or heavy tow hauling.

    FWIW, it's what I remember from long ago Mobil days as well. Then again, I can't tell the difference between a quart and a gallon anymore.

    And so, 6 ounces out of 7 QUARTS (ahem) is 2.7% down. i.e., sump is 97.3% full. Close enough.

    Fine as is. 6 ounces low is 0.67% low from a full 7 gallons. Should put things in perspective.

    So what is it now without Harley participation?

    Weird. If Harley owned a minority share of 49%, how could they have decided to stop producing?

    Oil Filter Thread

    I gritted my teeth and visited Bob's to see what the goofs were saying about Fram Endurance Oil Filters as a replacement for the degraded Ultra XG's. After reading a bunch of pages, my take was the consensus was generally this is a good replacement that simulates the original Ultra XG, with...

    Wait, what? Didn't Harley own Buell and discontinue?
