How Do You Change Oil And Filter In Harley Davidson Sportster With An Evolution Engine?
• Ride your bike a little to get the oil warmed up. Also, when the bike sits for a few days the oil may drain from the oil bag into the engine. Since this is a dry sump oil system you will be draining the oil bag and whatever ended up in the engine by this type of drain will remain there and will mix with the new oil after the change. Also, the warm oil is much more willing to flow and will drain more readily. • Gather your tools. You will need a drain pan, a flat blade screw driver, an oil filter wrench, which is optional and I do not use one. Since I am the only one who changes the filter on my bike I know it will not be over-tightened and I will be able to get it off with my hands. • Put the bike on the side stand, place the drain pan under bike close to the rear wheel and find the hose. The free end of it will be plugged with a plastic plug that also doubles as a clip that holds the hose to the frame tube. • Using the flat blade screw driver unscrew the hose clamp securing the hose
