I would do that if I had one. The oil can henrys shops or the like use similar to chage transmission fluid in cars so it will work

REVO Artwork, in Oils.
The REVO engine is a work of mechanical art and should be respected and cared for as such. My standard is ride the bike, get the oil good and hot, thinned, all stirred up and drain it right away before any suspended particles in the oil fall out of suspension and deposit on the sump. Take an oil sample. Pull the K&P inspectable, cleanable oil filter, clean the rare earth magnet and filter, check for excessive debris and metal, refill with 20/50 Mobil, Motul or ( I prefer ) Amsoil for better corrosion protection and fill it up, start and idle for a few minutes to get air out of the oil system then ride and leak check. Write a new reminder for a 2 year / 4000 mile absolute limit and check oil sample results when received. So would I use a Mityvac ? Not for routine scheduled full oil changes - just wake up 30 minutes earlier, go to bed 30 minutes later, don't be lazy - just do it right ! Having said that, if I were in the mountains riding hard and my oil was getting close to the absolute limit and I wanted 2 or 3 quarts of fresh oil in there just to get me by would I do it ? sure - then I would do a complete fresh oil change when I got back home. Same thing with south Florida JW or any hot, humid place - swapping in a few quarts of fresh oil between oil changes in the middle of summer is a great idea because oil does lose viscosity, lubricity and fresher oil is always a plus. Love ya engine - it will Love ya back - long time ! :blahblah:
