Check engine oil level
Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1)
on the clutch cover.
Oil level should be between the marks on the sight
glass. If the level is low, top up with engine oil.
Ducati prescribes the only use of SAE 15W-50/JASO
MA2 oil and recommends the use of Shell Advance
4T Ultra 15W-50 oil (JASO: MA2 and API: SN).
Remove the oil filler plug (2) and top up until the oil
reaches the required level. Refit the plug.
Important
UK VERSION: Ducati recommends you use
Shell Advance DUCATI 15W-50 Fully Synthetic Oil.
Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a
Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance
chart reported in the Warranty Card.
To check the oil level correctly, carefully follow the
instructions below.
1) The level must be checked with warm engine, so if
it is not performed after riding for at least 20/30
minutes you will need to warm up the engine.
If, on the other hand, the engine is cold, start it and
let it warm up until the cooler fans start two
consecutive times (the engine oil must be perfectly
warm to flow along the lines and reach the oil sump).
During this warming up phase, the bike can be left on
the side stand.
2) Turn off the engine and wait 10\15 minutes to
allow the oil to flow completely inside the sump.
3) Position the bike with both wheels on a flat ground
and in straight position.
4) Then, check the engine oil through the sight glass.
