If it freezes it will cause problems.

Just a thought

Ryan,

Just a thought.....If this is an attached garage, could you simply install an electric heater thermostatically controlled to keep the garage around say.......45 degrees? You could always keep one of those wireless radio shack thermometers with alarm in your house to alert you if the temps get colder than say.....40 degrees.

I just did my 150 (SCIC) last weekend. It is a piece of cake once you are setup to do it. You need an extractor pump and an eTorx bit to get the lid off the oil filter. It takes about 20 minutes and will save you several hundred $$$. In the US, you can get a kit with the oil, filter and plugs for about $45. Here in Canada, it's a little different...

1 Gallon of oil, 1 Oil filter, 3 o-rings... $102.50
