 Useful Information
Considering the cost of service work this book is worth picking up. Most factory repair manuals are generic in nature and don't demonstrate the fine details to carry out some maintenance tasks as this book does. I appreciate all tips and tricks I can get from anyone who has done the task before. I admire the authors desire to share what he knows and help others enjoy maintaining their bikes. My recommendation for the next printing issue is to condense the material as much as possible. The current edition is repetitive in many places and this is distracting to the reader. I found myself rereading the material to make sure I didn't miss something. I do know I will refer to my copy the first few time I do general maintenance on my HD.
 More than just how to change the oil on your Harley
I liked this book, period. Well worth the investment for learning insider tips on not only how to change your oil on the big twin Harleys, but all sorts of good stuff about owning a motorcycle in general. Being new to a Harley I appreciated the advice of a seasoned Harley rider as the author has been putting on many cycle miles for many years. Although the book is not a shop manual it has little known tips that a shop manual would never tell you. I know I am saving big bucks by doing what service I can to my own bike and this book along with a shop manual got me where I need to be! An easy read and the author makes it interesting and fun!
 Don't buy
Change the Oil is not going to win any book awards. It was disappointing. Very poorly organized with random points made through out and other points repeated multiple times. The information could have been conveyed in about 10 well written pages. It could have used a proof reader. There were many misspellings, missing words, etc. Photos were of a very poor quality. I really don't know whether I should trust the information. I recommend you find another source for the information
 Twin cam
There are a some good tips, but the book is fairly unstructured and
contains numerous annoying grammatical errors.
In general, not very well written.
Not recommended.
A good investment
The money spent on this book will be recouped after your first oil change. If you've never changed the oil on your twin cam engine before, read this book. There are little details that the owner's manual won't tell you. I always wanted to do more routine maintenance on my bike but I was intimidated by the thought of making a mistake on my $18,000 Heritage Softail. Think of it as Oil Changing for Dummies - with tips and advice even a seasoned do-it-yourselfer can benefit from. Learn how to change your transmission and primary case as well. The book covers much more than just changing your oil, but even if that's all it covered it would still be worth the money. It's a perfect companion to the owner's manual.
