2018 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special Oil Change

[@suanncushnie8987]

This is the best video for explaining all 3 holes for fluid change.

[@badbob]

A very nice job with this video. Best one I have seen so far.

[@gmreid256]

Best video on draining all three fluids!

[@TACorsetti]

Nice video, detailed, short, and no fluff. Did you use the same HD 20w-50 synthetic in all 3 holes?

[@robfoster5701]

Thanks for the video! I have to do the 5k service on my SGS and this was very helpful!

[@TaniaJohnson]

You mentioned in the video that you would include the part number for the gasket and the o-rings, but it's not in the description. Any chance you could share that information?

[@jimclabaugh4999]

The gasket service kit is: 17396-06 and is like $4.95 retail.

[@SuperDusty111]

@@jimclabaugh4999 Are you sure that service kit number is correct? I could only find 17369-06 (Not) 17396-06?

[@jimclabaugh4999]

@@SuperDusty111 I stand corrected. Thanks for catching this.

[@billflixtone6684]

Good video. Transmission oil to be checked "at ambient" not operating temp like the crank case.

[@paulrevere4326]

I change my primary cover to a Willie G cover and decided to use my original gasket (only had 4k miles) and it would not fit. The gasket was about a half inch too big. Is this normal?

[@flathead1930]

John that is a good video plain and simple

[@flash1034]

Shouldn’t trans be checked cold...not hot?

[@scotty2221]

Transmission oil? I'm so lost. Just bout a 2018 Road Glide Ultra, has 3700 miles on it and I want to change the oil. Keep hearing you talk about transmission oil though, guess I need to read the book.

[@xTylerx94]

love seeing the USW label. proud USW worker!

[@bigbulldog559]

so what happens if hex bolt is taken out? asking for A FRIEND?

[@Cdlzzl]

no link for gaskets and orings

[@johnsilivriyanos]

Great video brother man!..keep up the great work!!

[@waynecasey6375]

Hey John, good vid...just what I needed, thanks!

[@imdaNDN]

is this the same as a 2018 sport glide! as far as oil changes?

[@davidmonarch7471]

Is there another oil drain underneath the engine sump at the front ??

[@raford250]

Yes, it’s an Allen plug. This is for the case itself and also will tell you if you have the dreaded sumping issue. 8oz max should come out of that hole.

[@tax905972]

What’s the model number of that screw gun ? Been looking for the same size and brand or equal

[@1957Panman]

I've been a Mechanic for 40 years. Honestly you think that the BEST H-D Mechanic is concerned about the paint on the Bottom of your Frame? I'd rate him an Honest "B" (A to F). He did nothing wrong that I noticed. The Solution is Do It Yourself. (That's Why he took the time to do this Video.)

[@hitsomebody1]

What is the torque spec for the derby cover?

[@geraldpaul4505]

18 to 20 inch pounds not foot pounds

[@frangeech]

Great video! What is the HD part number of the gasket kit for the o-rings and derby cover?

[@markberg1929]

17369-06

[@lexkantoor6514]

Iex you cat som film over zij wheel contaakt me please me

[@anubisgodofgods]

I searched HD website for part # 17369-06 and it says it doesn't exist.

[@jay0863]

Great video.

[@TTROJAN]

Right to the point great video broham 👌🏽

[@mikey5645]

Thank you!

[@scottyantz2825]

Do you do electric Glides

[@DavidCureton9188]

Outstanding video......thanks for the help!

[@wolfemanbog4176]

So on the derby cover it’s 30 oz not 38 oz on my 2017 ultra m8 not like on my old bike that took 38 oz

[@dennism103]

It's really easy once you've done it a few times.

[@Theoneking1469]

What type of thread sealant did you use?

[@drewlansing8520]

Don’t use it. There’s a reason it has an oring

[@georgezhou1415]

Awesome video man. Just one thing if you can mention the torque value of each of the bolt then it will be complete.

[@AFPECE]

He did

[@jaydcarr1]

Thanks for the video!

[@johncasor9698]

[@JPfromCA]

[@ctscantechnologist]

It is cool that you do this vid with snap on tools.

[@road_king_dude]

[@johncasor9698]

$250.00 at El Cajon Harley Dealer in San Diego, CA... Haha... Great Video...

[@dennism103]

Thx excellent video

[@JDKNSATL]

@4:13 woke up my sleeping baby

[@B.D.TRX4]

I never did understand why harley designs their cycles to use 3 different oils. Seems more complex than It even needs to be.? How do other manufactures get away with long lasting bikes where they drain 1 plug, and fill with 1 oil ..

[@ROADKING88]

I use SYN 3 in all 3 holes, no problems

[@B.D.TRX4]

Paul Louis I guess I mean why the need for the 3 different locations for oil in the first place, especially if you use the same oil in it anyways

[@Rags722]

For openers, HD came out with Syn 3 so you can use the same fluid in all 3 holes. I don't, but that is because I don't feel gear SYN 3 does a good job in all 3. As far as why not just dump all your oil in a single hole, take a look at the crap on the 3 magnets. Unless you have a major problem, the engine oil will always be metal free, while the clutch and tranny will have either clutch material or gear snot in the oil. If you like the metric idea of running tranny and primary snot through your engine, have a ball. I don't. 3 different boxes with 3 different purposes. Best design for sure. Oh, and for those that want a tip, do not pull the oil fill plug at first. Check to see that the oil gulps out like it needs a vent. Then pull the oil fill and it will run fine. You just proved your rocker box breathers are working correctly.

[@joelabriola6289]

How much does Harley charge for this DIY service.... $400.00?! WTF.

[@johncasor9698]

$250.00 at El Cajon Harley in Calif...

[@grendelprime166]

If it's the initial service, yes.

[@cesarpalma961]

One more reason why I don't buy a HD why do you need to replace the o-ring every time you change the oil I think that all bs

[@angelsuarez17]

Cesar Palma I've noticed. If torqued correctly the O ring doesn't get smashed to pieces.. Could go every other oil change but I know what you mean lol

[@Mr.DeathMachine]

LOL! The O ring is like 25 cents

[@CbusLowRider]

Cesar Palma Well, there it is: the stupidest comment I’ve read today.

[@bah5310]

I've owned 5 different makes of motorcycles, every one of they recommend replacing the O-rings

[@wolfemanbog4176]

Cesar Palma it’s a cheap o ring u don’t have to change it but it will work again but most hArley guys like to spend cash on your love ones !!

[@robertsteele1729]

Dude, WHAT A HACK-JOB!!! When you loosened the oil drain plug YOU LITERALLY WERE BANGING THE LOWER FRAME WITH YOUR RATCHET!!! YOU WOULD NEVER TOUCH MY BIKE THAT'S FOR SURE!!!
