oil

First off I think it important to mention the amount of ''crap'' that was stuck on the magnetic drain plug = disgusting... :mad: It took a few minutes to get it clean, not sure the dealer would have taken the trouble. Now for the good news:) I had done some research on this forum and...

which chain oil do you guys use ? here from ducati they tell me castrol, but all my friends are telling me that its not a good oil. and which engine oil ducati tell us to use??

Hey guys, after 2 weeks of ownership and 900kms I decided to take a look at the oil level. Other then the fact it looks filthy it's low. Seeing on how I'm going to have it changed at 1000kms should I add oil? I'm guessing oil consumption during break in is normal? Alex

Greetings to all, Not sure where from hadnt had the chance to remove fairings or open up air box. Oil leaking but only when engine is pressed ie 10-11K rpm. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Maybe vapours through oil breather which I think runs though the air box. Oil level normal...

Hey All, Just changed the oil in my bike and noticed the 2013 models have threads in the oil filter cover bolt holes. Find a pair of bolts that fit the threads in the cover holes. The larger bolts act as forcing screws to push the cover out.. slick as duck crap. Maybe 2012 owners can buy the...

See photos. Oil leaking all over the ....... place. Ready to light this ............ on fire and call it a day. Beyond sick of owning this bike. I absolutely love riding her, and love staring at her even more, but this is all really pissing me off. Pics coming in a minute. Anybody have a...

Hi everyone, I have to top off around half quart for around every 1,500 miles. Is it normal?

has anyone had a leak from cam chain tensioner? can the tensioner be removed without the chain jumping? im hoping leak is only on the sealing washer, any info be great! thanks

Today I was cleaning my 1199S after a track day last week, and I noticed oil on the clutch cover. I removed the faring and saw a small amount of oil was coming out of a hole above the clutch in between two bolts. It might be a vent hole? I might be missing a bolt? Any experience would be...

I missed a few shots of the oil change (the ones that would have required covering my phone with oily fingers) but this should be enough for anyone who's doing their oil change for the first time on the Panigale. The drain bolt is along the centerline of the bike and can be accessed without...

Thinking about changing the oil myself. Have done this on jap bikes. Is it just taking fairings off then remove the bolt on the bottom (is this a tricky process?) then drain and add new oil and change oil filter. Roughly a 1hr job? Interested in hearing from people who have done it...

Didn't have time to really inspect it. Possible oil leak? Thanks guys.

:( My S developed a slight weep. Just curious if anyone has had theirs repaired without recurrence.??? I did search this topic, it isn't looking good for answers...:(

i have heard theories on this but dont really know the right answer. do you change your oil before storage for the winter or after you take it out of storage.

I performed an oil change today on my 1199R and found these three plastic pieces in the oil which I drain from the bike. Any thoughs or ideas as to where they came from? I have the parts schematic for the bike and went through it page by page and did not see any internal components which...

I love my Pani but it's gotta be said I'm getting tired of all the issues ! Starter motor ! Engine casing ! clutch ! all solved via warranty but I have this oil leak from the back cylinder rocker cover seal.....Dealer has stripped it cannot find anything wrong.? has resealed it BUT first rideout...

Can some one please show me how to change the oil step by step ? Any preference in oil brands ?

So what mileage are you guys running between oil changes? Manual says every 7500 mi. but that seems pretty absurd (and dealer told me that I'd really want to do it more frequently than that). Changed it at 3800 mi (3100 since 1st svc) and the oil was pretty black. Now another 3500 until...

I don't have my SF anymore, but still have a brand new in box oil filter and crush washer that I had purchased for my next oil change. Since it won't fit my other bikes it needs to go to any reasonable offer. Thanks! Note - I posted this in the Streetfighter area and not the Classified...

I need to top my engine oil off and I scanned through my owners manuel and not quite sure I found the answer! I think my Dealership said 5w-40 But I see posts with guys doing 10w-50. Thanks! 2013 S
