Changing the oil is so easy even a 4 yr old can do it.

So really there is only one step, and it's:

1. Get some cheap, mechanically-inclined, child labor.

Excellent.

Not as cheap as you think :lol:

:lol:

Really though, adorable little girl Kev :dthumb:

Thanks dude

:lol: Adorable! Good post and Great Pics!!

lmao....


im laughing at the effort put into this thread, way to go kev!

Having children is far from cheap! But I guess renting one could be! Maby start a day care so you can get paid and rent them out!! Double pay!!

:twfix:
one of the best 'How-to' i've seen in a while.

can ya send her over to change my oil now?:whistle:

She only works outa this shop :lol:

Are you suggesting I start a sweatshop with young child mechanics? Don't you know that's illegal?

I like it.

M is adorable

I have some oil and a filter, let's put her to work again.

Bring it on. She told me to tell you her oil change price is about $20/hr plus all the Juicy Juice she can drink.

So then I can bring mine by and get it changed? Date of appointment, price??

Bravo!!!

Though, you forgot a few steps for me... damn ducatis....

^^See above

Haha. The added price of a pasta rocket :lol:

All day! She can have the oil changed in an hour right! well I'll bring a case of juicy juice and 20 bucks!!

:dvrofl:

I can't wait until my son is old enough to join me in the garage!

He's just over 1 year old.

Don' blink. It will be here before you know it

no freelance huh? oh, well i tried.

no doubt, it felt like just yesterday my 15yr old was crawling.
enjoy every second with them. even if it's just changing the oil. ; )

:lol: That's a bit younger, but not much. Always loved working on projects with dad when I was younger. Still do!

:lol $20/hr?? Wish all service was that cheap. Careful of that fermented juicy juice.

Quite the little mechanic ya got there! :dthumb:

i cant believe i actually paid a shop once to change my oil, wtf was i thinking

:ps: What did they charge you $100? I do mine myself and I cant do it any cheaper than $50.

i think it was cheap, since i worked at the shop, but now i can do it for under 30, gotta love my amsoil prices...

That stuff is $9 a quart. How can you do it under $30 since the filter cost $10 alone? You do change the filter every time right?

I would also like to know the answer to this question.

$30 sounds a little cheap but not unheard of.

I use mobil 1 full synth... best price is 8-9 a quart.... and K&N filter, roughly 12-13 bucks.

Thats 36-40 bucks, and I use the pricey shit. I only need 3 quarts though...

See my bike take 4 full quarts or about 3.7 liters.

Full change with oil filter change is 2.75 quarts for me...

$27.18 for me to change it on the SV

3 quarts Suzuki dino oil
1 Suzuki filter.

yes i change the filter, and its all about employee pricing... and my step dad is half of the shops lawyer... why do you think my suomy was 300 bux

I may have missed it in this thread, but I think it's missing a few things...

1. Beer... you'll be drinking it.
2. Cursing... you'll inevitably be doing it.
3. Dropping the drain plug into the pan filled with hot oil... you'll be going back through this list in reverse.

Get a K&P or Scotts re-useable oil filter... only takes like 8-10 oil changes to make your money back.

I'm not sold on Scotts. I dont think they filter enough.

The Scotts much like anything else is bought from somebody else.

The steering dampner... is bought from Ohlins... the filter is bought from K&P. I got a chromey for my $50K chopper... so I would say good enough.

You can safety wire it... taking that thing to the track? :lmao:

awww, this thread is so cute!! reminds me of father's day a few years ago when i bought my hubby the 'topless tune-up' video for his fat boy. some naked chick shows you how to perform routine maintenance on your bike. a cheesy, must-have video in your collection. :)

Don't ever refer to a testosterone laden thread like this as 'cute' and PM me the pictures of this topless chick immediately.

I must have this video.
