Replacing fluids and filter on a 2018 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special with the 107 Milwaukee-Eight engine.

[@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.

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

[@napleonbrewer2219]

Love the video

[@coasttocoast1180]

Very helpful 💯👌🏽

[@dennism103]

Thx excellent video

[@billflixtone6684]

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

Road Glider I have one for sale vivid black with 6200 miles

[@dennism103]

I luv my m8 road king.

[@ctscantechnologist]

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

[@dennism103]

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

[@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.)

[@imdaNDN]

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

[@tax905972]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@bigbulldog559]

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

[@flash1034]

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

[@johncasor9698]

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

[@scottyantz2825]

Do you do electric Glides

[@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.

[@scottyantz2825]

I always knew it you had a oil at never knew why just do it

[@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

[@JDKNSATL]

@4:13 woke up my sleeping baby

[@hitsomebody1]

What is the torque spec for the derby cover?

[@geraldpaul4505]

18 to 20 inch pounds not foot pounds

[@cidizzle]

no link for gaskets and orings

[@Theoneking1469]

What type of thread sealant did you use?

[@drewlansing8520]

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

[@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.

[@johncasor9698]

what is drain plug torque???

[@joedillon2627]

bet 14-18

[@CaseyCrise]

Is the bike on the kick stand?

[@Reefkeeper578]

its on a bike lift

[@chrisfree6372]

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

[@chrisfree6372]

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!!!
