500 mile oil change with a tip!

[Jruggs73]

Ok so I have 493 miles on the SW and ordered up the oil change kit. Spent the day in the shop going through the sled. Swapped out the PIA bolts on the turbo/can flange. Checked turbo bolts and they were tight. Went through every clamp on all of the hoses I could reach. I measured the oil I drained out of the block and tank , right at 3 qts. I checked the chain tension and the bolt/nut were somewhat loose from the factory. I did figure out a sweet way to catch the oil from the tank , its called a flex-A-funnel. Used it on my Harley to keep from making a mess. You can see it in my photo attached , green in color. It molds to a shape you give it and drains out the hole by the foot hold area. Can anyone tell me any other items to check? Besides oil and filter and a general inspection? Thanks for all of the tips , it made my day much easier! Dan I need to see how your riv-nut deal worked! Awesome idea bud!

Change chaincase fluid, check chain tension, remove the exhaust bolts and get anti sieze on them, adjust track if needed and grease everything.
