Just about done..
02/23/09 at 06:26:10

I did about everything I wanted to do.. H-D muffler, Lancer's Jet Set, K & N filter (used from a member here), and most recently new tires http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300291827560&vi...

I also bought so new oil filters on ebay and it's time to change the oil.

Question; Knowing that the Savage has a wet clutch. Is it okay to use Mobil 1 Synthetic oil? I have a couple of quarts left over from the car. It's 10-40..

Was supposed to be for the wife, but was it???

BUT, any car oil is going to have very little of the zddp additive that our engine likes/needs. Read some good oil info: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1214016026

Let me use the Waffle House menu method (You'll get the "Waffle House" reference if you've seen the classic stand-up comedy routine by Bill Hicks):
