This past Pulp Show, Steve and Keefer had a debate going on what job they hated to do more.
Changing oil, or cleaning air filters.

Think I'm going with Steve, its changing oil.

I use to hate cleaning filters until I switched to NoToil and now I wash them in the washing machine.

I actually enjoy cleaning filters with no toil. I don't ride often enough to be good at changing tires like I was when I was 19, so that's not much fun. I ride a two stroke so changing oil is easy and I honestly don't do it as often as I should. Maybe every ten hours?

Adjusting the chain. I don’t know why but that’s the worst for me. I’ll change oil and prep filters all day no problem lol

Neither. None of it really.

I won't use not oil. Anything that drains off or drys out over time is bad news. Cleaning filters is easy even if they were covered with pure grease.

I use no toil on my street bike, clean the filter once a year on it. Never had it be dry, still wet and sticky.

Those are like 10 minute jobs! If either of those relatively minor things ping your hate meter, you should see the crap I have to do to keep older bikes on the track haha.

Advantage of an e-bike. No air filters!

If you never change either then you only have to change both once per engine.

I used to frame my bike every 3 or 4 weekends. The last 20 years I have to force myself to even wash them.

Cleaning filters with No Toil is easy. As long as your capable of starting your washing machine and putting the cleaner and filters in there it’s EASY! Cleans the tub of the washing machine well too! Now oiling filters after they are clean is another story 🤷🏻‍♂️

Both are a pain in the arse but nowhere near as bad as changing tyres...

Just changed my oil this evening, gave me an excuse to give my son a ride around the yard! Had to get out the wife's bike and ride it around as well. Gotta keep the gas in the carburator fresh! Cleaning pilot jets is the service I hate...

Anyone who uses one-time filters and throws them out needs to rethink there lives. Wash and reuse BRO

What do I hate? Electronics, I buy a smart phone, and before the battery dies, making the phone useless, they come out with a 'new' version, making my phone irrelevant. Is this the future of mx bikes?
If so, I will miss my 2 stroke.

I think, to be fair, you need to add 'charging batteries on an outdated ebike'.
