Do you EVER reuse your oil?

I was always taught to put fresh oil in a motor whenever you take oil out. But for instance, if I replace the stator cover gasket and it doesn't seal right so I need to take it off again, I drain the oil and such. Would you reuse the oil in the bike? When do you draw the line?

Depends on how clean a catch you can manage. I'd reuse it if wasn't beyond in miles and months.

No. Ed

No, oil is cheap compared to a messed up motor.

When I worked in dealerships, I would bring the oil and filters out of my racebikes back to the service department and put them into customer's bikes. Hell they only had a weekends worth of racing on them.

Same thing with my streetbikes, I change oil and filter every 750 miles. So I would just bring them back to the shop and put them into customer's service bikes too!!! I only used the best synthetic oil I could get, and only O.E.M. oil filters. Plus at only 750 miles, it was just broken in!!!!!

One more reason I do all my own maintenance on my bike, cars, and truck! :blink:

Hoping the statute of limitations for fraud in your state has run out on the crimes you just confessed to.

It said "oil change with filter" Didn't say it was "new" oil and filter!!!!!

Hope you never bought a salemens "demo" from a carlot.

All that means that it was "demolished" at one time before you bought it!!!

You would not believe what goes on in big dealerships, car or powersport.

Maybe you should watch the movie USED CARS then.

Fifty bucks never killed anyone takes on a whole new meaning!!!
