Oil Changes on Road

[leo3wheel]

Wondering how folks do oil chnges on long trips? Do you look for a dealer? Do you change it at a filling station? Thanks!

I would buy a cheap pan and do the oil change at either a Wal-Mart or a oil change station. That way they can dispose of the used oil properly. I'd take oil & filter with me if I had room for them otherwise buy them locally.

Oh okay... If I find a Wal-Mart with an auto department, then they can dispose of my oil. Sounds good! Thanks!

Stopped once at HD dealer in MO. Purchased filter and oil. Borrowed pan and wrench from their Service dept. no problem. At the time, I was doing extra oil changes between services.

Change you oil before your trip. Then you are good to go for another 8,000 miles! No need to worry. Or carry a filter and stop at any dealer you want. Even a Harley dealer can change the oil. If he wants to. Tom :Trike1:

Also run synthetic and will most likely forget about changing oil until we get home. Will watch the odometer... Thanks!
