Warning
The oil may be hot to the touch. Avoid
contact with the hot oil by wearing
suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye
protection, etc. Contact with hot oil
may cause the skin to be scalded or
burned.
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.
Install the oil filter and tighten to
7 lbf ft
(10 Nm)
.
After the oil has completely drained out,
install a new sealing washer to the drain
plug. Install and tighten the drain plug
to
18 lbf ft (25 Nm)
.
Fill the engine with a 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).
Start the engine and allow it to idle for a
minimum of 30 seconds.
Caution
Raising the engine speed above idle
before the 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 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.
Ensure that the low oil pressure
warning light remains off and the oil Pr
message is not visible in the instrument
display screen.
Stop the engine and recheck the oil
level. Adjust if necessary.
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.
