So you never just add oil. You have to drain the old oil, replace the oil filter, and then add oil? Sorry I'm new to this
@PartzillaParts7 жыл бұрын
Dylan, you should never apologize for trying to learn. If you have to add oil, then you are leaking oil somewhere and that should be fixed. A proper oil service is to drain the old dirty oil, new filter and add fresh oil. After awhile, the heat and friction breaks down the oil viscosity so new oil helps keep the motor in good running condition. Happy to help.

Partzilla, I have a 2004 400ex that I just did a complete rebuild on. About a month ago I rounded the head on the engine drain bolt and wasn’t able to remove it. I have recently gotten the bolt out and ordered a new one. The new bolt I purchase didn’t come with a crush washer, but it has a o ring around the end. Is the crush washer necessary? Or would the o ring work just fine? Any feedback is nice and I would really appreciate it.

don't get me wrong.. Mr Talley is my hero in this topic, but for this one I beg to defer in the filter replace.. first you need to fit the filter in the cover, then in the engine, not the other way around, if you do the engine first, then the cover you can put it uncentered and you will not be able to notice it, hence clogging the oil flow.. for both the filter to the cover and the spring to the engine you can use a small amount of sticky grease in order to keep them still..
