Concise, to the point, logical and sensible. Thank you very much for a solid how to video ! 2012 Honda Goldwing owner.

I was running Honda GN4 oil in my 2008 Goldwing. Then I watched this video and decided to try Motul synthetic (and prime the filter, of course). I can't belive how much smoother it shifts gears now. It's a stark difference. As always, Paul's advice is spot on!

Excellent video Paul, precise and to the point. I just bought a 2008 Goldwing and doing some research I was glad to run into your video because another one advised to remove the fog light cowling and also a secondary cowling to access the oil filter. I thought to myself, "well, that's kind of a pain". Now I see you don't have to do that so the process (as you explained it) is now a piece of cake. I have always primed my oil filters, it just seems like a common sense thing to do so.

Very thorough! Thank you! Great tip on lubing the side cover grommets. A lot of Honda dealers don't know to do this, and indeed on my 2001, I lost the right side panel about 20 miles after an oil change, and when I examined the situation, both lower and rear grommets were missing, just like you said!

Great video...I watched another that the guy removed the entire front lower cowl piece and thought to myself "that looks like a lot of unnecessary work"....Your video proved me correct....Looks to be easier than changing the oil on my 2007 VTX 1300...About to go out and change the oil in my 2015 F6B now....

I had a 1982 GL1100. It had 4 cyls and barely even resembled the modern day Goldwing.

Awesome video. I had to laugh when you talked about putting the dielectric grease in the grommet holes and you said "otherwise, you will be going down the road with your feet on your highway pegs and the cover may blow right off". That is EXACTLY what happened to me this morning on my way back from San Antonio. And it is because I removed the cover last week and when I put it back on, I probably pushed the grommet rings right out. Really good wisdom in your video. Great teaching style and I love how you don't get bogged down on one thing too long. Great teachers, both of you! Thanks again.

Great video, as someone that just retired after 42 years doing this work it always makes me happy to see someone prime the filter and hopefully you did install a new compression washer on the pan bolt. again great work.

Paul, Doug from the Detroit area here, myself being an auto mechanic wat hing you explain and demonstrate the art of filling the new oil filter with oil to prevent "dry run" start ups was a great detail on motor care for your investment! Next, I haven't heard that wonderful Canadian twang, in your speech, in so long that it was an added bonus to me/my ears to hear that sound!😁🎶. You made my day, hearing you speak with that form!! Doug

Just bought a 2002 wing and learned a lot. Have had 1500’s and never thought about the grease to the grommets. Thank you! Will be following you.

My dad taught me to always prime oil filters when he was teaching me how to work on cars back in 1975 and after. I've always done it and I think it really just makes a lot of sense! I think the visual of showing people just how much oil is required to prime it was a fantastic idea as well! I also really like the idea of greasing the rubber when you mounted the side panels. Again, it just makes so much sense to do that to keep them from drying out and causing other problems as a result!

Thanks Paul & Kathy for another very helpful video!

Priming the filter! You are a genius.

Good Video... I like the sounds of approval and agreement from the wife in the background. You sound like a team that enjoys each other's company.

Good afternoon from Great Britain ,thanks for another great masterclass in Goldwing maintenance .

A guy that actually Explains everything he does sure makes for a nice video that gives tips on what you need to know to make it easier like how much oil, nice tip on getting that filter in and it not dumping the oil out as well. I always figured the oil would surely come out real fast. Makes for slightly long videos but good. Just wish I had an infinite data plan lol.

I have a new to me 2006 GL 1800 so I'm glad I found this video. I haven't changed the oil myself yet and a previous video said you have to take that front cowl off and you proved you don't have to so one less thing to think about. Great Information. I'm now subscribed to your channel.

Thank you for this video. It 2023, and I'm doing my first iol change on a bike I bought mid last summer. God Bless

Thank you for your video! Following your video instruction saved a lot of time and effort compared to the “other” video that says you need to remove the front cover. The process was straightforward and simple.

Don't know how many oil filter changes I've done on bikes and cars over the last 45 years but I've never thought to fill the filter before fitting. Obvious now but still genius. Thanks
