Whizzer Drum brakes were 70mm

Thanks that's what I was trying to remember. I was going to get some shoes for that front Whizzer/Cruzzer wheel.

The Tannus Armour set up looks like a good investment.

New Generation Whizzer Oil Change,
View attachment 201257View attachment 201258
I change my oil every 100 miles 8oz Whizzer suggests every 200 miles
Easy 5 min oil change

Nice tight fitting bronze washer on the drain bolt for a good seal

Whizzer suggests 40w oil, I use 20w/50 M/C oil, but some insist on using 20w/50 oil with zinc. (vintage Whizzer yes)
18 years and over 41K miles I've used them all and as long as ya keep fresh oil in your Whizzer it'll be fine

Yamalube 20w/50 because I had a Yamaha and would buy oil by the case
If it's good enough for a big V twin It'll be good enough for a Whizzer

I fill up a 8oz juice bottle, and just pour it in

8oz isn't alot of oil, so change it early and keep that oil fresh

I will add my Modern Whizzer oil change tool. As an oil catch that does not leave me with an oily funnel to deal with, I save half gallon milk jugs and cut the bottom off so it will fit between the engine and the frame and under the oil drain plug. I leave the cap on and hold it with the handle so I can easily tip the bike with my other hand and catch the oil in the half jug. It is then an easy task to pour it into my larger oil recycling jug. I borrowed Wrench's pre measure juice bottle, but again, i don't use a funnel to pour it. i save a scrap of the plastic jug and form it into a little "trough" to easily pour from the bottle into the filler neck with no dirty funnel to deal with. Throw the scrap away...

Funnel is easier for me, Funnel drains into a used oil 1 gal jug, It's always ready, I use the funnel for my M/C too and anything else that might require a funnel, Besides every mechanic garage needs a few funnels,

Yeah , your funnels will be dirty if ya don't keep them stored properly,

You mean, you just dont cut the bottom out of the aluminum beer bottle your drinking on when you are done?

No, but I have drained the oil into a plastic soda bottle and just thrown it in the trash.

But the trash man will pick up the 1 gal jug of used oil if I set it on top of the trash can

I used to do that before I bought some funnels

Yeah, I hear what your saying about a dirty funnel
When your done using it, it'll drip oil all over the place

TIP:
When your done using the funnel just put it in a jug and any oil will drip into the jug, Store the jug in a clean spot
Empty the jug when it get's kinda full

Pop bottles do make good funnels. I just stand them up in a old cottage cheese plastic tub. I pour my used oil in a five gallon jug and haul it to the recyclers once and a while with my oil filters and oily rags.

 

[Wrench]

Look at all the uses of that funnel

Engine oil, Trans oil and Primary oil fill on my Harley

I even got a special funnel to change the oil filter so oil don't get all over my engine
I'll have to admit before I bought the oil filter funnel I used to make one out of a plastic bottle

Yeah, I take pics of my Harley oil changes & mileage to show the dealer service if I got a warranty claim
