Be glad you don't have an older Guzzi. Laying on the floor undoing
about 18 bolts to change the oil
filter. What a pita!
.....

Same process on a2000 guzzi Jackal only without the benefit of a
center stand.

With a center stand is a bitch. Without must be a double bitch.


As a nod to "superior" Japanese engineering and design, you have to
unbolt the skid plate on the front of my truck to change the oil
filter.

I think only the "offroad" 4WD models have the skidplate. If I lived in
the Souf', I would have skipped the 4WD altogether. But the two times I
drove in the snow this past winter, it was nice to have the traction and
control.

If you're not going to do any off-roading, why not take off the skid
plate?



I got "free" (ha!) oil and filter changes for life or something like
that when I bought the truck.


Free oil and filters for *life*? (yes, I noticed the "something like
that") :-)

I traded both my truck and the Altima that I bought last year in over
the weekend. Really didn't plan on it but you know how it goes.
Visit a dealership, they take your keys to check out your trade (I was
driving the truck) and they won't give them back or let you out until
they've tried every trick in the book to sell you a new car.

They won Saturday. But, I got free maintenance including oil and filter
changes for 3 years, not for life.
