#106002 jetmechanic (User) If you don't ride,then you don't know! Senior Boarder Posts: 359 Re:I gotta switch oil 3 Weeks, 4 Days ago   Thanks fellas, I went to Auto Zone and they actually have it. Even though the Mobil website dosen't show them as dealers and when I called them they said they didn't carry it.About 8 something a quart but at least I found it. I am having a hard time finding magnetic drain plugs. I need 10mm x 1.5 correct?? The smallest anybody has is 12mmx1.5, and they have 14mmx1.5. Any suggestions?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #106019 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 11999 Re:I gotta switch oil 3 Weeks, 4 Days ago   Are you talking thread or head size? The head size of the ones people are getting is 14mm.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #106095 Roadkill1962 (User) Life--no one gets out of it alive... Platinum Boarder Posts: 1312 Re:I gotta switch oil 3 Weeks, 4 Days ago   I just picked up two of the 14mm magnetic oil drain plugs at Pep Boys for $4.49 each. They had them at Auto Zone as well for about the same price.

Senior Boarder Posts: 359 Re:I gotta switch oil 3 Weeks, 4 Days ago   I found some 14mmx1.5 magnetic bolts at Auto Zone for about 4 somethin a piece. They looked smaller diameter than the stock plugs, but they screwed in fine and tightened good. Also found the Mobil 1 synthetic and went to Walmart and got the supertech oil filter.

The new formula has less zinc, better for converters but not for cam & lifters... on cars anyway.

Jeff and you can bet the new formula has additives not wet clutch friendly... to compensate for the less zinc to meet API SL/SM standards..   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/10 06:15 By Pop Rivet.   2005 Silverado Listen to my Ride   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107967 Razor (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 214 Re:I gotta switch oil 2 Weeks, 4 Days ago   Rotella T. 1 gal is about $10 at Wal-mart.

Switched to Mobil 1 V-Twin Syn though at my last oil change. Starting to scare me what I was putting in my bike. The super tech filter though is dirt cheap at walmart. Think I'll switch to the magnetic bolt. What size do I need? 14mm head, what thread and length? BTW, do you all change out your washers when you change your oil?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #108121 DKLAZ (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 69 Re:I gotta switch oil 2 Weeks, 4 Days ago   I've seen all the talk about changing over to these magnetic bolts. Can someone clue-in a relative noob as to why the change? Thanks in advance, KL   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
