Is the oil pressure in my bike maintained while the Scavenger is in use?
Yes, of course - the oil pressure must be maintained in order to pump the last of the dirty oil from the sump. While performing a Scavenger high performance oil change, the fresh oil is drawn from the oil tank as contaminated oil is pumped out the Scavenger exit hose. Once fresh oil exits the hose, (which you'll see immediately as the color changes), the process is complete. At no time does the engine lose its oil supply or oil pressure.
I have a bike with an oil cooler and a thermostat - will the Scavenger flush the cooler?
Yes, the Scavenger will flush your oil cooler. If you run the motorcycle to full operating temperature, and the fresh oil is at least room temperature, the cooler will be flushed. The thermostat is controlled through a 'bi-metal spring', which will not close before the cooler has been completely flushed.
What does the Scavenger "puck" do on Twin-Cam models?
The Scavenger puck directs oil back through the engine. Using our puck prevents the new, clean oil from running through the dirty filter. This allows for a more complete flush, as a used oil filter harbors dirty oil and particulate, and will not rinse clean.
Will the Twin-Cam A fitting leak?
Hell no - the Twin-Cam A fittings consumed a great deal of our research and development. No "off the shelf" fittings would accommodate the oil line cover, while retaining the stock ID. After working with Earls Performance Plumbing, we found a clamshell fitting which did both. Used in Formula One racing on oil coolers and power steering pumps, this fitting is designed for quick replacement, is "track tested" and will not leak.
