Another Oil Change

[jbfla]

The CSC tutorial says to change the oil at 200 miles, and then again at 1,000 miles with synthetic oil. Then every 2,000 miles.

The Owner's Manual says to change the oil at 500 miles, and then every 2,500 miles.

I'm OK with either one. But my curiosity got the better of me.

This was the drain plug at the 200 mile oil change:




I kept wondering if the drain plug would look like that next time.

So here's the drain plug at 600 miles:




I also noticed some sort of sealing compound on the oil screen, and around the threads on the drain plug (see above photo)



So it cost me $20 to satisfy my curiosity (filter and 2 qts. of oil).

It took a little less time for this change:

And I really miss my table lift (in NC). It's tough for an old guy to be crawling around on the ground.



Then lubed the chain (every 200 miles):
