1974 Honda CB360 Oil Change - How To

[@brucerumrey8894]

Great video! The background music was a little overpowering, it would have nice to hear what you were talking about

[@ThePolishDad]

@brucerumrey8894 Agreed, the music didn't turn out like I wanted and really takes away from the video. One day I'll redo the video... Thanks for taking the time to comment and sharing your thoughts. Have a great day!

[@ThePeaceGawd]

This video was extremely helpful. I too have a cb360 which i recently purchased. It's my first vehicle -i have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever- but i'm excited for the challenge come spring. I hope you can continue to create videos. The fact that both you and your son both have a pedestrian understanding and learn as you go along is very calming and relatable for a neophyte such as myself.

[@ThePolishDad]

ThePeaceGawd Thank you for the feedback and comment, it's greatly appreciated. We're looking forward to working more on the bike, continuing to learn, and will definitely be documenting/videoing what we do. It's nice to know there are others on the same journey. I hope that my son and I will be able to give back as much as we learn during the process. Our plan is to rebuilt the carburetors next - we just need to get a free weekend! Stay tuned!!

[@jamesburnett7317]

Nice project to share with your son or daughter! I really recommend changing the gasket though. Hopefully no leaks!

[@ThePolishDad]

Hey James, thanks for your comment. My son and I are getting ready to get into rebuilding the whole bike. When we do, you can be sure we'll be replacing gaskets and anything else that needs it! Have a great day!

[@JoyHoque]

Very helpful video but music sound are very annoying

[@ThePolishDad]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm happy the video was helpful. Sorry the music was annoying. Hopefully soon I'll run through changing the oil again and make another video with better sounds. Thank you and have a great day!

[@socalfun64]

Best video on this I’ve seen yet. Showed all the real struggles and everything. Very cool. Thanks guys.

[@ThePolishDad]

Thank you!! We're happy you enjoyed the video. Our plan is to document our journey to getting the bike back on the road and to provide a real-world picture of what it takes for average people to get it done! Hopefully we'll be back at it again shortly...

Do I need to clean the filter I only have 800 miles on it when I had it at the shop they changed it at 500 but it's been almost 2 years since it been done any advice please

[@ThePolishDad]

Depending on how it's been ridden, I don't think you'd need to clean the filter at this time. Check the oil when you change it, if it looks clean, I wouldn't clean the filter now. If it looks dirty and has crud, probably a sign it should be cleaned.

[@powsniffer0110]

Is this the same system the xl350 oil system has?? I am trying to clean/fix the oil problems I'm having on my 73' Honda XL350! Please help!

[@ThePolishDad]

I honestly don't know if this is the same oil system as the xl350. Sorry I can't help more.

[@williamtoth6284]

Great vedio , much good info But please drop the music !

[@ThePolishDad]

Thanks for your comment. As you may have noticed, I've gotten a few comments about the music and I'm trying to decide what to do about it. What don't you like about the music? Too loud? Not the right music? What else? I appreciate your input. Thanks!

[@andrewveatch2577]

I think it's definitely too loud and doesn't add much or anything to the content. The content is solid but the overdone music detracts.

[@ThePolishDad]

Thanks for your feedback. I'm looking at redoing the video and making changes to the music...

[@kainhall]

​@@ThePolishDad a bit of music when you are doing NOTHING is fine but at 3:50 you are talking over the music..... (i would have simply stopped the music.... said what i needed to.... then started up the music again when all im doing is cussing at the bolt that is stuck) . the "style" of the music doesnt matter just dont play some REALLY strange stuff (like... dont play the "meat puppets" first album) .

[@kainhall]

@@ThePolishDad like.... the music at 9:20.... when all you are doing is removing bolts thats 110% fine (and even the style of music was fine) . it just when you are trying to talk over the music.... thats the issue . and i PERSONALLY could understand you but i have HIGH quality speakers.... . people with cheap speakers/headphones (aka, 90% of people) would not be able to understand what you said

[@TN_HondaDad]

Good Lord who last put that drain plug in, it's not a lug nut!!

[@ThePolishDad]

Yeah, that's exactly what we were thinking!!! I'm happy nothing busted while we were trying to get it off. I was afraid we'd sheer the head off the bolt!

[@bigal7561]

Very cool

[@ThePolishDad]

Thank you!

[@freefromleftwing]

For a proper oil filter screen clean , the filter should be removed from the body filter screen or use at list brake fluid applied through it . 4 hands are quite handy , I just do it with mines . Just wonder , how quick your engine oil gets darker ! ( mine gets quite quickly ) Yes , changing gaskets it's always a good idea but sometimes not enough . You should use a thin film of gasket sealant on both sides of the gasket ( from the equator to bottom ) to not make the mistake of over tightening the bolts to avoid leaks !

[@ThePolishDad]

Thanks for the comment and suggestions Joao! All great tips. Since we don't have it running yet, we have yet to determine how quickly the oil gets dark. Will definitely let you know when we get it running and starting riding it. Take care!

[@brodyjohnson299]

What was it that fell out of the cover at the 11:30 mark? Where does that washer/spacer go?

[@andystevens7557]

Love the video. Greatly dislike the music, especially when its louder than you guys talking.

[@ThePolishDad]

Thanks for your comment. As you may have noticed, I've gotten a few comments about the music and I'm trying to decide what to do about it. What don't you like about the music? Too loud? Not the right music? What else? I appreciate your input. Thanks!

[@american236]

@@ThePolishDad Not the right music. Too loud.

[@ThePolishDad]

@Cody Patino Agreed. I wish I knew how to adjust the sound/music on an uploaded video!

[@FrankDeruyck]

GOOD!

[@ThePolishDad]

Thank you!

[@caroltenge5147]

That music makes you nuts....... Arrrrrr

[@ThePolishDad]

Yes, it does! I wish I knew how to fix in! I am tempted to just redo the whole video with different music. And quieter!

[@caroltenge5147]

doing this is a pain in the arse, but it must be done. Thanks!

[@ThePolishDad]

It was definitely a good learning experience for both my son and me. Gives you an appreciation for replaceable oil filters! Thanks for your comment!

[@caroltenge5147]

I checked some of your other videos.... You and your son... Great mutual love there. Have a great day... together.

[@piercemajette9731]

Wait until you replace a cam shaft lol

[@trevorwarren5266]

How did you know when to stop putting oil in?

[@ThePolishDad]

The service manual says the capacity is 3.2 US pints / 1.5 liters. We put in what we thought was about that much, then used the dipstick to add a little more until we got it in the good area.

[@stephenroughton2792]

How many quarts of oil does this take

[@ThePolishDad]

The service manual we have says 3.2 US quarts / 1.5 liters.

[@daveco1270]

I was confused at first because I skipped ahead a little. I was like, "why is the dumb ass taking off his exhaust and kick starter to change his oil?" I had to go back and listen to what you said in the opening. I don't have a CB360, but that seems like a horrible design. On my CB750 the oil filter comes off at the front with one screw, takes about ten minutes to do an oil change. How often do they suggest you open it up like that and clean the oil slinger? Hopefully not every oil change.

[@ThePolishDad]

Believe it or not, they suggest every oil change! I try to put some common sense around that. I'll take a look at the oil when I change it, if it's gritty or really dirty, then I'll crack it open and clean the filter. If not, I'll put me oil in and be done. Thanks for your comment!

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

Video is good, the music however is very annoying. Would be better to have no music in my opinion.

[@ThePolishDad]

Thanks for your comment! Agreed! It is annoying and takes away from the video. I am seriously contemplating redoing the video and uploading it again.

[@SergeKulyk]

Dziękuję!!!!

[@ubuntudroid3629]

The Oil still looked new and clean .. I had this bike , long time ago , never renewed the Oil , just filled it when it was draining..

[@ThePolishDad]

Yeah, it was pretty clean. It's been stored for a while and in good condition. The main reason for changing the oil was to get more familiar with changing the oil and the filter. And to spend time with my son!

[@american236]

A little from the Mallet?? Yeah right more like a CRAP TON.

[@ThePolishDad]

🤣 Indeed!! Thanks for your comment!

[@rontoops2781]

The music is too loud and annoying

[@ThePolishDad]

Hey Ron. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I agree, others have said the same thing. I need to take the time to redo the video with better mucic and adjusted volume. Have a great day!

[@gusdogbrownlab435]

Good video but again you don't need the music. It adds nothing of value, in fact takes away from. I'd rather listen to the sounds of clanking tools and the birds singing in your neighbourhood.

[@ThePolishDad]

Agreed! Thank you for your comment. I wish I knew how to fix the sound in KZbin. Although I am seriously considering just redoing the whole video with better and quieter sound!

[@gzqgtq]

Lose background music. It is very annoying and distracting. I couldn't even finishing watching the video.

[@ThePolishDad]

Thanks for your feedback! I've been trying to figure out how to fix the sound/music on the video short of recreating it with different or no music...
