And as a preventative measure, you can run the Ring Free through a few ounces at a time. BUT...if you're planning on changing your oil anyway, you can run a whole can through in one tank of gas--just make sure you change your oil right after that tank is empty, because your oil will be toast. More like burnt toast... It'll clean a lot of crap out of the motor and dump it in your oil. My opinion...use Sea Foam instead of Ring Free--you can get it at Wal Mart or Auto Zone and it's a lot cheaper.

Just different viscosities...10w-40 better in cooler climates....20w-50 in warmer climates Yammi sells both in Yamalube (DINO) all JASO MA certified Yamalube   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/04/30 16:50 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #81166 Akela (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 206 Re:not another Oil question .... 4 Years ago   Thanks everybody for your input.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #109523 Hurricane (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 26 Re:not another Oil question .... 3 Years, 9 Months ago   how many miles are necessary for ring seating, before I can change to synthetic? I have 3000km (2000 miles) on my 2004 1700 & I want to change oil to be sure that I am running only 4 quarts, & also to run a large shot of seafoam thru my tank before change.(svs) I also have a dumb question, when you say 4 quarts you are referring to US quarts? some oil bottles in Canada have US & imperial & litres on them Thanks for the help, great site   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #109535 Liquid_Edge (User) I'd Rather Be Riding Expert Boarder Posts: 568 Re:not another Oil question .... 3 Years, 9 Months ago   4 U.S Quarts.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #109551 onefastbob (User) WARNING!...I can be Annoying!

Any thoughts?I use Lucas in my Road Star (20w50 synthetic motorcycle oil) in my opinion it is as good as anything out there. I get it a Oreilly's Auto Prts. Good stuff, use it.   Logged     My Image is NO longer illegal!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
