Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil
Filters
To protect the environment, do not pour
oil on the ground, down sewers or
drains, or into groundwater sources. Do
not place used oil filters in with general
waste. If in doubt, contact your local
authority.
Oil Specification and Grade
Triumph's high performance fuel injected
engines are designed to use 10W/40 or
10W /50 semi or fully synthetic
motorcycle engine oil that meets
specification API SH (or higher)
and
JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic)
engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in
some countries.
Do not add any chemical additives to the
engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and any additives could cause
the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-
detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil
not conforming to the required
specification. The use of these oils may
cause instant, severe engine damage.
Cooling System
To ensure efficient
engine cooling, check the
coolant level each day
before riding the
motorcycle, and top off
the coolant if the level is low.
Note:
•
A year-round, Hybrid Organic Acid
Technology (known as Hybrid OAT or
HOAT) coolant is installed in the
cooling system when the motorcycle
leaves the factory. It is colored
green, contains a 50% solution of
ethylene glycol based antifreeze, and
has a freezing point of -31°F (-35°C).
