If you use the information in this video to service your own bike, you will save $400 to $500 each time you service your Harley as compared to expensive dealership service fees.
Always remember, to start your bike and let it run for at least 5 minutes before you change the oil. Warm oil drains better, pulls out sediment better, and with "Dry Sump" engines like in our Harley Davidson motorcycles, the oil tends to "sump" down into the engine case over time which will prevent you from draining all the oil from the bike during this procedure.
In this video i cover the procedure i use to drain and replace the engine oil, transmission fluid, and primary fluid as well as the oil filter.
This process will be basically the same for all Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, and Electra Glide motorcycles built from 2000 to 2017.
I also briefly mention Frame Design differences and cross member location differences.
The engine oil plug and transmission fluid plug both torque between 14 foot pounds and 21 foot pounds if you decide to use a torque wrench.

Good vid! However I think you want to ride it for about 30 minutes to get it up to good operating temp. Then drain it.. I don't think 5 mins would be sufficient. , (just my 2 cents) :)
Pete, Thank you for the comment.
If a person wants to ride their bike for 30 minutes before they change the oil, I think that's great.
My main concern with a Harley Davidson engine however is not whether the oil is hot, but rather whether the oil pump has had time to scavenge the leak-down oil out of the crank-case so that it can be drained. With that in mind, 5 minutes is more than sufficient. Anybody can open the garage door and run their bike for five minutes before they change the fluids. Not everyone will be able or willing to take their bike out for a 30 minute ride in February when its 28 degrees and there is snow on the ground. Thanks again for your thoughts.
30 minutes is to long.
You would have to let it cool off before draining and exposing cool air that replaces as the oil is drained.
5 minutes is perfect.
@@shawnnoname9291 opinions vary I suppose. To me when I do a 3 hole change I like to get it up to operating temperature AND I like to mesh thru all the gears,use the clutch and get the particulates moving around so I can drain most of it. It can be 20 mins or 30 whatever it is but more than just 5 minutes. After I am done I will run it for a few mins to check for leaks. Again, just MY opinion. And will do what works for me just like all the readers will do what they think is the best for them 😁 again opinions vary. Happy riding! 🏍

Dang! It's amazing how many poorly made, incomplete or confusing videos I've had to wade through before finding this video! Very well done! Very concise, well explained, great visuals and best yet, you didn't waste my time with unnecessary content. Perfect! Thanks!
Thank you for actually showing what most of us are looking for - drain plug locations - and all the rest.
Probably one of the best fluid change tutorials I have seen. Thank you very much.
I appreciate the complement. You're very welcome!
I was about to type the same thing
This guy is very thorough with his videos, and he speaks clearly and doesn't talk fast. And he is very detailed. I subscribed because his videos are awesome! Thanks, man.
Best 3-hole oil change video out there. Clear and concise. I added this one to my library. Great job. Thanks!!
Thanks for such a well done job. My local shop charged me 275.00$ for this service that won’t be happening again.!!! Thanks again well done sir.
Probably 75% of that was labor cost. It all comes down to how much is your time worth, do you trust them to do a good job, can you honestly trust yourself to do a good job. The answer to those 3 will determine whether it's worth it for you to pay the shop. I try to do the basic stuff that can be done at home w/o a garage myself and take it to the shop for the rest. YMMV.
Thank you Jay for a detailed, clear viewed 3 part oil change. 1st time Harley owner.
I like that when doing your work you're very likely doing it like the large majority of us Harley owners. No lift on the floor with basic tools. Yet the finish product is as good as the big fancy mechanic shops. Right on bro .
Many videos later I found this one, made in 2019, detailed, clear, concise, and informative and the best one.. thank you.
Hey J W just wanted to say thank you for being our personal online HD mechanic my friends and I refer to you all the time on our phones or on the house PC. Your skills and attention to detail & obvious love for your craft puts you on top of all the rest. We appreciate you!
I sincerely appreciate that, Rich.
This sort of encouragement makes it worth while.
@@JayWCase what type of fluids do you recommend 2012 ultra classic limited
I just bought a 2008 Ultra Classic Screaming Eagle and came looking for DIY stuff. I have owned all types and models of bikes over the years and always come to RUclips for tutorials. Your tutorial video is THE best I've ever come across. Thank you for your time and energy. It is very much appreciated my friend! 👍👍
Ive used both this one and the Softail video to do my fluid changes. Like others, thanks for staying on point, no small talk, easy instructions. Thank you!
Probably the cleanest oil change I’ve ever seen! Great job!
this video ROCKs even after 5yrs..
Not rocket surgery but that was the most thorough, intelligent presentation on the topic I've seen - thanks. Doing my first oil change on an HD and wanted to make sure I had what I needed to know. Thanks for the info on the gear oil. I was initially confused about the late changing of the filter but I can see that does work.
Excellent very well done videos Jay! The only thing I might mention would be to always replace the o-ring on all 3 drain plugs. Thanks for all of your awesome videos Jay!
VERY well done video. Included socket sizes, and a very logical order of procedure. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
This was the most user friendly and helpful videos on changing fluids I've seen. I have an 08 ultra classic that I'm getting ready to change the fluids on. I'm especially grateful that you included the primary change. Awesome job brother and thanks for the video. God Bless!!
Thank you Glenn,
I sincerely appreciate that and I'm glad it was helpful for you.
Best of luck with your Ultra!
very helpful , you do a great straight forward tutorial, no fancy music in the background, no stupid jokes, this really was helpful
I am glad it was helpful for you!
Great video! Clear and at a pace, anyone can follow your steps with. AS A NOTE: On MY 2006 Ultraclassic, the PRIMARY drain plug is NOT underneath.., it is on the lower face side of the main primary cover. It's a small, 5/16" allen head, plug bolt. I would also recommend telling what capacities are. 3.5 oz for my engine oil and 32oz of Primary fluid/oil. This will help newer riders/owners and those who get older and forget :) Other than that, you're video is excellent. Thank you!
I appreciate how thorough your video was. My father passed and left me his 2004 Ultra Classic. Never owning a H-D before I came to the web for answers. This was the best video I found. Others skip steps or fail to mention oil types for each of the 3 locations. Thanks man you made it easy.
By far the most informative, yet to the point. Shows each drain plug, fill plug, and sizes. Thank you
BEST tutorial video on 3 hole oil change. Thank you !
Hey, very well done! Great tutorial, your explanations are clear and concise! I appreciate you taking the time to do this, very well done!
You're very welcome!
I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for being to the point and covering only the details you need to change the fluids
Nice Job brother short and sweet and to the point. You were easy to understand and that is exactly what we need. Also nice scooter brother!!
Very very informative, straight to the point of video, and the best how to diy video on fluid change on your Harley Davidson on youtube ive seen. Thanks brother for keeping it simple and to the point. Keep the shiny side up and dont ride as fast as your guardian angel can fly.
This is a nice and complete video on how to do a 3hole change. Very full and comprehensive. Thank you for being thorough.
2 questions I (personally) think that were left unanswered:
1. How often is a 3 hole oil change typically needed
2. Which (hole) is the one changed for the 1-hole oil change.
After going through some pretty bad videos, I'd like to tell you that I like yours the best. You explained everything thoroughly and I feel more confident working on my bike after the video.
Thank you
Guys like me appreciate the professionalism. 👍
Thanks alot. You are the best! I was nub until I watched this video and now I'm 80lvl!
This should be the how-to video on how to make how-to videos. Fantastic
I really appreciate the kind words.
That's what keeps me going! : )
I just got my first HD two weeks ago, a 2007 Electra-Glide Ultra Classic with 23K miles. Thank you for this video, it made the fluid change super easy and quick. My oil filter removal was not as neat and tidy as yours (Ill let you do the imagining). Anyway, Thanks!!
Great video without all the nonsense that ends with, "take it to a dealership and have it serviced". Exactly what a new Harley owner needs.
JW; Man this is an "OUTSTANDING" how to video! Great explanation and great camera shots. You should teach class on making "how to vids". Great work and thanks a million for the class brother.
Jake, I sincerely appreciate that.
I am honored to be a part of this community.
Keep the shiny side up!
This is the best tutorial for a Harley oil change. Every step is explained, right down to the details. Excellent!
Hey Andre,
I appreciate your endorsement.
Best of luck to you.
Nicely done Jay! Great explanation and showing plug locations so clear is a super bonus. I've been doing my own maintenance for years, and you definitely topped the cake with your videos. Keep up the great work!! Thank you for your time and help.
Made my day a whole lotta easier. I've done this operation many many times but I'm getting older and my memory likewise so to speak lol. Nice clean sharp bike too. Mine needs seals unfortunately, a leaker; 05 electra glide. Well done, Thank you.
Just bought my 1st street glide. Your video was excellant for beginners who like to do maintenance on there own. Thank you
It’s like you were made to make tutorials. Much appreciated.
Very good diy video. Very helpful and clearly shown on how this job was done. I just bought a used 2007 FLHTCU and I know feel totally confident in changing the fluids on my scooter. Thx again for the video!
Great video simple and to the point no extra BS. I always change the o-rings on the plugs too.
This is the first time I've seen this channel. JW seems very knowledgeable. It was a very good tutorial. All of the necessary information and none of the excessive talk. I subscribed and liked.
Fantastic video. Thank you. I just bought a 2002 Road King and want to do a 3 hole fluid change. Now I know what I need and how. Thanks a lot
Thanks for the complete breakdown! Very detailed and going to make this job a breeze! The service manual isn't even this clear lol! Appreciate the hard work!
Honest to God I was always hesitate about doing this but since times are hard, you do what you have to. you took the worry and mystique out of doing this myself. Thank you! Ride hard stay safe!!
I appreciate that Floyd.
Stay safe brother.
Floyd, after you do it once, you'll be psyched to it agian, keep it up!! you will save a lot of money, services, are cake, just hand tools, and knowledge, good luck!
Nice job!
Way more involved than my Kawasaki!
Thanks!!
Excellent job. One of the best videos I have seen on changing the fluids. Thanyou.
good lighting all throughout. easy to visualize the plugs and other parts. You point out the plan and reason for the action you intend to do. You are a great teacher.
Thank you Vino, I appreciate the kind words!
You seem like the kinda person everyone gets along with. Good video my brotha
Very good video!! Like actually showing the drain plug locations for each fluid.
One thing I changed to is the K&N oil filter with the nut on the end of the filter. They come in black or chrome and the nut is just so much easier to get filter loose. Around 14 bucks but easy peasy worth the money. KN-171C or KN-171B
This was a complete, informative, left nothing out, kick as** video!! Thanks for doing it for us!!
What a great no-nonsense video. Very well made and well spoken. Thank you.
Hey John, i appreciate the kind words.
You are very welcome.
Keep the shiny side up!
Great job, took your time explained it all.now my wife can change her own fluids..she's so independent like that.
Great video, my first Harley Davidson,,,2000 Road King Classic and my first time changing All three fluids. i bought the red line power pack with 20/50 fluids. i like your video. very helpful.
Great tutorial. This was my first time changing all 3 fluids. After having an engine replacement I just turned 1000 miles for the break-in. New fluids all around and beautiful weather here in the Florida pan handle. Time to ride.
check many bolts/screws on the bike for tightness at the 1k mark. You don't want stuff flying off the bike. Such checks are part of the 1k. It's not just an oil change.
Thank you so much. You get right to the point. Im not a biker by any means. I do my dads bike maintenance to help the old man out. I hardly ever touched a bike so your video helped out
You may catch the biker bug if you keep working on your dads Harley!
Thanks for the comment!
I used Lucas 75-140, first time trying it. Honestly haven’t noticed much difference. However it’s been a couple months doing it and ever since, there is a very strong oil smell. That gear oil does stink when it heats up.
Awesome job.. that’s got to be the best oil change procedure I’ve seen yet .. thanks again!!!
Hey brother, as other have said, great content, just what we need and no unnecessary BS. One thing I'd add, I like removing the drain plugs before venting the top fillers. Less messy.
Thanks for the video buddy. It can be a little confusing especially for somebody with a new bike to figure out which plug is for which. I just got a beautiful 2002 Electra glide so I wanted to make sure I pulled the right plug to change the oil.
Thanks for the video I have never changed oil on a harley. Going to do it my Thanks to your helpful video..
Definitely the best done explanation I've seen clear pictures precise information ..excellent!!
Thanks man.. You just saved me 6 million dollars in dealership maintenance cos
Hahaha! You are very welcome Rafael!
Invest that 6 million wisely!
By the way, if you end up with any extra left over, I can give you my PayPal address!
Thanks again Brother. : )
Great video, I'm going out to the garage to change my oil now. 1st time on my 1st Harley. 2010 Electra Glide ultra classic
Thank you for making this video I’m always looking for a way to save money, I’m very confident I can do this myself after watching your video 👍
Awesome video, extremely helpful for us new owners. Can’t wait to see additional videos.
Nice job,, thanks for the video. Just bought a 2011 Road King. And the filter location seems to have worse access than my softails. Time to install a remote filter mount.
I really enjoyed your video & I'm a first time subscriber. I love the way you teach !! Concise , Lucid , Straightforward , No Ego , Just the Facts !!
Good Job !!
Sincerely ...................
Thank you this was a great tutorial. I just bought my first Harley and it didn't come with a owner's manual. Very informative and helpful. Sigh I know now I need to get gear oil lol
I do agree using gear oil on the transmission, it gets quieter and shift smoother, Thank you for the video.
Great video bro, a Harley shop would charge $500 to do all this stuff, I prefer working on my own bike so I know it’s done right
You bet!
Its done right, and you can buy a nice set of leathers every year with the savings!
You explained very well and showing the drain locations leaves no doubt . Thanks
I'm glad to hear it was helpful!
This video was very helpful to me for doing these oil changes on my 2002 Ultra Classic trike. Thank you, sir!!
Thanks brother, my 07 Classic will be right as rain now, Thanks to you!
Amazing video you didn't talk a lot just stayed with the subject and I really appreciate that made it easy do you understand listen take off and put everything back together thank you brother
I'm glad it was helpful!
I like the drain plugs on my '03 better than on my older RK. Very easy to do trans oil swap. (Not crazy about the rear axle and camming bolt for belt tension.) I punch holes in the filter to let it drain out into the trough before removal.Great and well done vid.
Thank you , I’m new to the game and wanted to be able to change my own fluids for the first time.
This a great video. Great camera work and instruction. Thnx.
Seriously the best oil change video ever
Jay new subscriber here. The last change I did was with AMSOL in all 3 holes. I have a 17 RGS. I am going to take your advice and put Gear Oil in the transmission. The shifting is noisy and clunky. I really hate it being like that and I came from riding Honda's all my life to my Harley in 17. GREAT video Jay... thanks again. The DAWG from the Show Me State of Missouri.
What an amazing quality video. Just bought a 2011, original owner, Road glide custom, 103. I'm going to subscribe.
Great video - I have never gotten away with such a clean oil change. I thought you had already drained the bike before the video, lol.
Haha,
Thanks for noticing I didn't spill.
I appreciate it.
I like the calm demeanor you have when explaining the steps.
I am terrified by doing something wrong with the consequence that my bike is shot.
However, I need to learn this as my mechanic has retired and I just cannot pay HD 400+ for a full service.
Thanks a lot for making the effort to publish this video. I can do this with your help 👍
I am very pleased to hear that you will be putting this information to good use!
Thank you for the feedback!
Nice info for newbie like me with 2008 Roadking😊
Nice video JW. I have a 2017 RGS, tired of paying my dealer big bucks for a 3 hole service. Going to start doing it myself and this was a big help. Glide On.
Right on, i'm glad i was able to assist.
Great video on an oil change. Thanks for including amounts to put back in. I may try the gear oil in tyranny next time.
Bless you for this straight forward and easy to follow video
I agree with Q Carson well done, also like the special tip advice on catching the oil from the filter. Great job Brother God Bless
Thanks, I sincerely appreciate that.
Finally concise and informative. Thanks!
Thank you I just bought a 08 ultra that will save me a lot of money because my friend took his
15 model ultra to the shop and it
Cost him 300 dollars
Hey Ollie,
Yes, the stealership is where your money goes to die.
$300 dollars is actually the low side of the cost spectrum for an average service bill at a Harley Davidson dealership service department.
Pretty good vid, I usually check my primary chain for adjustment when I change my oil, but to each his own.
Great video, straight to the point, no shíte talking for what feels hours. Well done and thank you
Plus he speaks to the camera clearly and audibly.
Great video!! I am new to Harleys, but have been wrenching on metrics (mostly goldwings and cruisers) for years. This was awesome to be able to see the steps and the fluid amounts. Well done!!
Excellent video, very clear and easy to follow. Quick question, the manual says to add 28
oz to the transmission, doesn't a quart overfill it? What happens if it is overfilled?
Nice video. You covered the whole job in an efficient way and described bolt sizes too. Nice sequence right to left as well. You included the torque specs as well. Just what I needed to perform the same job on my 2013 Road King. Thanks.
I appreciate the kind words.
Best of luck servicing your Road King.
I'm pleased the information will be helpful.
Best HD DiY video. I’m now a subscriber. Thank you for making this simple and easy to understand
Thanks! Saved big $ and had fun doing it!
Best video I’ve found. Great job young man 👍🏻
