To change the engine oil and engine oil
filter:
▼ Warm up the engine thoroughly, and
then stop the engine and secure the
motorcycle in an upright position on
level ground.
▼ Place an oil drain pan beneath the
engine.
▼ Remove the oil drain plug.
▼
Unscrew and remove the oil filter
using Triumph service tool T3880313.
Dispose of the old oil filter in an
environmentally friendly way.
▼ Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil
to the sealing ring of the new oil
filter. Fit the oil filter and tighten to
10
Nm.
▼ After the oil has completely drained
out, fit a new sealing washer to the
drain plug. Fit and tighten the drain
plug to 25
Nm.
▼ Fill the engine with a Semi or fully
synthetic
10W/40 or 10W/50
motorcycle engine oil which 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.
▼ Start the engine and allow it to idle
for a minimum of 30 seconds.
Caution
Raising the engine speed above idle,
before the engine oil reaches all parts
of the engine can cause engine
damage or seizure.
Only raise engine speed after running
the engine for 30 seconds to allow the
engine oil to circulate fully.
Caution
If the engine oil pressure is too low,
the low oil pressure warning light will
illuminate. If this light stays on when
the engine is running, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the cause.
Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause engine damage.
▼ Make sure that the low oil pressure
warning light remains off and the oil
pressure message is not shown in
the instrument display screen.
▼
Stop the engine and recheck the oil
level. Adjust if necessary.
