Finally

[Pandy]

Took the plunge and performed my first oil change on the RT. Also rotated the front tires, local shop did it for $20.00 for both. Something I noticed on my Wing was the occasional higher than normal oil use when using a pure synthetic. Shifting was a bit harsher as well. So, for this change, I used the old tried and true Rotella dino oil. Maybe it's my imagination, but I don't think the Spyder has ever been quieter and I think it shifts smoother as well, that is some of the clunks weren't as dramatic.Oh, and in the last few months I been shifting in the 3800 to 4200 K range, and it's rather smoother overall. So, not to risk the threat of an oil thrad, but thanks to BajaRon and WalMart, I have a cleaner, happier Spyder. Oh, before I forget, you would't believe the mung and drool I cleaned up under the engine oil filter. I dropped the cover underneath and it was horrible. No pics, hands were filthy at the time. I wonder if the dealer tech had been changing the filter housing o ring. If not, this one went 16,700 miles. Either way, he won't get the chance again.

Oily to bed, Patrick

Dismounted and rotated and remounted for 20$ :dontknow:

Yes

I removed the wheels from the Spyder, it was up on jacks for the oil change anyway. So, yes, dismount, remount and balance for that stated price. Took a short trip of about 225 mi round trip yesterday and seemed to be a lot smoother. Most of the mirror shake is gone and absolutely no tendency to drift.
Unlike the pilot...
