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
89 lbf in (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.
• Make sure that the low oil pressure
warning light remains off and the
oil pressure 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.
