Did it…step by step, including the dct initialization. Thank you..just got to do the final drive!

Great video. I ve watched enough after market oil filters to know they are all over the map regarding efficiency and quality. I now stick with recommended oil and especially filters. The one deviation I do practice is the length of km between oil changes. My bike seldom goes more than 4-4500km between changes and all oils and filters get changed each time. To me it is cheap insurance and besides I am old and need something to do.

Hi one tip fill your oil filter with oil before you install it and put oil on the rubber ring on the dct filter I change my oil Every 4000 miles great video love your riding videos with you and mrs high safe riding 👍from biker from UK.

Excellent work here MHA! Thank you.

I can't wait to do mine on the 2022 one.

Thank You Really So Much , Nice Job

Get a pair of snap ring pliers for the transmission filter. Mine are too long to stand up straight under the bike but I am able to grab the depression in the filter at an angle and the little devil pops right out. Thanks for the video. Though I've changed the oil 5 times I enjoy drinking a cup of coffee and watching someone else do it :)

I changed the oil in my 2018 goldwing and the oil filter was that tight on mine also. Used the same filter tool you used, would never have gotten the filter off without it.

Always do this kind of work yourself. You love your bike the local mechanic does not. You'll take your time. Your local mechanic is paid to be fast and that can lead to mistakes. I got my 2022 DCT Tour a month ago and they managed to send a 32500 dollar motorcycle out on the road with incorrect tire pressures 8 and 9lb low and 4 of its lower plastic housings fitted the wrong way. Never reward shoddy, can't be bothered to do it right work with your money or your buisness.

I been riding a Honda since the 1970's. Took Auto Mechanics at J.C. and have worked on my own cars and bikes since then. Currently i follow a few mechanics on KZfaq, and we all agree, 8,000 mile oil changes are a bad idea. Unless you plan to trade bikes every few years, then i guess the next guy can worry about it.

Re: leaking dct filter cover plate. You may want to look up Fred Hamons maintenance video is this regard. He uses a different “o” ring which fits better than the oem ring. Still a Honda product just a little less sloppy and as a result doesn’t get pinched as easily.

Fred Harmon prefills the Oil Filter before screwing it back up. Seems to make sense to me considering how much oil it takes to fill it.

You can use a magnet to loosen and pull the DCT Filter free.

Good video. The manual recommends draining the oil on the side stand. You should be able to drain some additional oil out using this method. However, I doubt Honda techs are doing this.

I always poke a hole in the bottom of the filter and let it drain before I remove it. Seems less messy.

I noticed you put the oil filter on dry. You are supposed to wet that new oil filter base O ring with some oil so it is not impossible to remove next time.

Nice vid! What backrest is that?

I don't want to be "that guy" but I do take exception to your method on several points. First, I ALWAYS use a torque wrench and especially on fasteners that hold back critical components, like engine oil. In this case, the fasteners thread into the engine crankcase, which could produce a disastrous and expensive fracture if over-torqued, or a dangerous possibility of an oil leak if under-torqued. Most of the time, doing it "by feel" is adequate, but I don't take chances with these fasteners. Like you, I've been at this motorcycle maintenance game a long time - 47 years and counting. I'm also a former dealer for Yamaha, Triumph, and BMW, with BMW tech training, so I do have some credibility. I believe in adding at least *some* oil to the new filter (a screw-on type, anyway) to minimize the time needed to get lubrication back to upper end components. I can't imagine being so budget-minded (on a $28,000+ motorcycle) as to advocate reusing crush washers (even though you did replace them) and buying non-OEM filters. Though Hiflo filters seem to be some of the better aftermarket filters, and are possibly OEM suppliers to some manufacturers, I KNOW that the OEM filter is tested and approved by the OEM. I think it's a good idea to clean all gasket or crush washer mating surfaces with contact cleaner or similar before reassembly, as well as the mating surface for the clutch filter cover. It'd a good idea and good practice to wipe/blow off the area around the oil filler before removing the cap also. If it seems like I'm overdoing this, no apologies from me. Good practice is good practice.

I do not own a Gold Wing I'm looking into getting one. I currently owned two Harley touring bikes. And a BMW touring bike. My question is why the two filters? It's the same oil all going to the same location but requiring two different filters I don't understand?

Great job, did you experience any leaking from the clutch filter cover as well? I took my 2021 DCT to the shop for the initial 4K mile service, bike was leaking and had to return 3 times before it stopped leaking. I'll do the next oil change myself. Thanks for sharing.

What helmet do you use?

thanks for posting...can you post the mm size of the filter wrench. thx

The the music please

Nice video. Why not staying with Honda's filters? I am aware that HiFlo are good. I get all Honda's kits fully. Also, let the bike sit on the side stand while drain bolts are off. You will be surprise how much oil comes out. Enough to make you feel better. Second, fill your filter with fresh oil. Third, I stay away from the upper line on the dip stick at 2.5 mins on the clock check time. Therefore, I take out approx 120-150 ML of the last QT on my DCT. After 2.5-3 mins, the oil level is 80-90% up. Safe for me !!!!!

Impact wrench got me dying

I noticed that when you took the oil fill cover off there was no dip stick Attached to it. Is that normal on the 2018 + Goldwings? I just started watching your videos,Keep up the good work.

What is the tyre life like at this mileage and when do you think they need changing

Couldn't help to notice but did dct oil go down same hole as engine oil?

I always go by half what ever manufacturers recommend bike or car, it's cheaper than any engine. And I do have same wrench. 🤣🍻 Is transmission oil same as engine oil and how to check?

Can't find the oil filter barell wrench for the life of me. Dui you have a part number?

Any problem to look for on the 2021 model? Im planing to buy a used one with 6k miles on it .

It is curious that you waited to change the break-in oil until you had 4000 miles on it. I've owned 3 new bikes in the the last 10 years including the last one my 2023 GW DCT bagger. The Indian first break-in service with oil and filter change was 700 miles. The KTM 1290 SA had a 600 mile break-in service with oil and filters change. When I bought the 2023 GW the dealer said to come in for the break-in oil and filters change at 600 miles. They said that they recommended that all their new Honda bikes get a 600 mile break-in oil and filter(s) change. This made perfect sense to me (Yes I'm older but not old). I took my wing to the dealer for the break-in work at 600 miles and since there was a great bakery/coffee shop next door I waited. I also had them put an extension bolt (easier access) and 12 V cable for heated gear on the battery's positive terminal. They finished everything in 2 h, gave me an itemized invoice and said to come back at 4000 miles for the second oil and filters change and other maintenance items (see manual). It is just my opinion that any new motorcycle should have a break-in service with oil and filter change between 500-1000 miles. I think dealership services are important while the bike is under warranty. Some dealers won't cover issues if you do your own service during the warranty period. Yeah it did cost me $194 but I enjoyed the ride to the dealer and bakery and went the really long way home.

An easy way to get the clutch filter out is by using a magnet.

I can see using Dino oil for break in but not after that .

My thoughts are you should have fill the oil filter prior to installing it.

knock the filter socket loose before you take the filter down, save yourself some mess. Fill your new filter before you put it on. Don't by those cheap ass filters, they can come apart internally and paper from them can get sucked into your oil passages.

710 Fluid ;-)

the honda oil filter gorilla is famous. I have a long shank screwdriver I keep around just to get his filters off.

Tt

Honda couldnt make it even 5 qts??? unreal

EXCELLENT video. Well done, easy to follow along. Thank you so much. Is there a compelling reason you waiting the full 4000 miles? I was considering doing the change at 2500-3000. Thank you again!
