Bob, the tubing I purchased at Lowes is marked 1" ID x 1¼" OD.

Hey Sinkhole is that 1" OD or ID?

Who dragged this old thread out of the weeds. Your answering a comment I made before I knew better. It's a lot easier and faster to stuff a rag into the cooling fins with a screwdriver.

I mentioned the oil problem to my mechanic and he agreed - it is hard to keep from getting oil in places where you would rather not. Great idea.... thanks for sharing!

But on the ATV when the light comes on you might be able to reset it by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes.
Bob, I believe the change interval was increased to 4500 miles. I do mine every 4K and keep track in a small notepad.

I haven't done the oil change yet on mine, so not sure if this is a good tool for it or not. A few months ago I purchase a green flexible rectangle that you can bend around to form a trough for oil changes. Have used it on an RV and a HD and it worked fairly well. Comes in three different sizes, unfortunately it is in my shop and I don't remember the exact name.
