It could be for a oil pressure test. I don't know, but it sounds good.

By the way, did my oil change tonight and was very easy. I didn't have much metal, but some. Also put on a 13 tooth sprocket, K&N filter, and my shock covers.

Hey Scotts88 I forgot to ask you a question about your predator.. Are you living on or out of your predator? Didn't you just get your predator yesterday? You already have 5 hours on it!!! Remember the predator needs it beauty rest also.

I changed mine at about two hours. I found quite a bit of metal stuck to the magnetic drain plugs.

I also did the one hour change ... I did drain the ps4 oil and go to silkalene for the break in I don't think synthetic is the answer for brake in..also the plug or tap fitting is used if you leave the drain plug out over night or while working on a drained oil system, it is a place to prime the oil pump for when it is run dry... I have to say I have nothing but good to say so far on this machine....
