Ducati Streetfighter V4 Oil and Filter Change

I change the oil and filter on my Ducati Streetfighter V4 for the 621-mile (1,000km) break-in service. It's easy to do and I go step by step. Doing this yourself ensures that it's done right and it'll save money in the process. In the US, it will NOT hurt your warranty. Just save your receipts and take some pictures of the process. #ducati #ducatistreetfighterv4 #motorcycle #motorcycles #oilchange

Great to get new content from you! You've got two beautiful bikes there, looking forward to your reviews of them, and of course, seeing the Bullet complete and running! 🇬🇧

Good video. If I may make two tiny suggestions...As a precaution, I would recommend placing some foil or some type of barrier between the oil drain hole and your exhaust (if you still have the stock exhaust) when initially removing the drain plug. The volume of oil that is pouring out of the drain hole is high at first, and you can see it pouring onto your exhaust, getting between your exhaust and the exhaust shield. That could be quite a mess to clean later if ever you needed to. Also, the Ducati service manual does state to use a dab of Threebond on the threads of the drain plug prior to torquing down. Do you have to? I would say it's not "necessary" per say, but I generally like to follow Ducati's recommendations when performing work that may or may not affect the warranty on both my Streetfighters. ...Yeah, that's "Streetfighter's" plural. 🤣🤦‍♂ Not trying to criticize as you did the oil change as it is supposed to be done, but just wanted to throw a few things out there that I learned along the way during my SFV4S ownership.

@@jonsnow6403 Thanks for the comment. I don’t think any kind of thread lock is necessary and I’ve never had so much as a drip. However, a bit of oil did hit the exhaust which is unfortunately very common and dealers often make a mess (it wasn’t too bad with mine). It simply burns off after the first ride. I was smoking after a few stops for sure 😂. I’ll definitely use some foil next time

@jonsnow6403 27 күн бұрын

@@Cyclingwithgasoline No worries man. The threebond is more of a silicone/gasket making material than threadlock. I presume Ducati feels it aids in sealing the drain plug better🤷‍♂, but can't confirm. Anyway, enjoy the bike! Keep the sticky side down! 👍

Hello friend. Please, after changing the oil, does the OIL SERVICE message disappear automatically or not? Is it necessary to take the motorcycle to a dealership to delete the message? Thank you very much. A big hug. Marcelo

@Cyclingwithgasoline 4 ай бұрын

The service reminder doesn’t shut itself off. You’ll need a dealer to plug it in and do it. Or you can buy a flash unit and do it yourself (not cheap just for that). I’m getting an “annual inspection” so they can shut it off and update any software if available. It’ll be around $50

Great video. I just did mine same way you did. Once filled I started let run and came back 2 hours later and it was at the minimum mark. Topped to the full mark and ran again then checked next morning it was the same. However I ride to work today and after sitting it's showing over filled aftet sitting for a couple hours? Still have room at the top of the sight glass but its over the top mark. Have you had this issue? Does it fluctuate alot?

@Cyclingwithgasoline 5 ай бұрын

Thanks. And mine have fluctuated at all after I topped it off the last time. These big V4s can be weird, though

What was the torque specs for the filter cover and drain plug? Did you apply any sort of silicone or thread locker on any of them? Thankyou

@Cyclingwithgasoline Ай бұрын

I rarely use torque specs as I've been doing this for awhile and go by feel. The drain plug is 14Nm and the filter housing is 10Nm. No silicone or thread lock! Just a new crush washer for the drain plug and the filter housing has two o-rings. I reused the originals as they're not worn and seal fine for a couple of oil changes. After that, just replace those two o-rings and always replace the crush washer 👍

How many miles your bike ? I’m planing getting This bike I have s1k 2013 km going to replace how about the service reminder . In the dashboard how can we take it off?

@Cyclingwithgasoline 4 ай бұрын

I’ve got around 1,500 miles on it now. Only the dealer can shut off the service reminder unless you get a flash unit yourself. I’m taking it in for an “annual inspection” and they’ll shut it off and update any software if available. It’ll be about $50

its actually restricted, the shift light moves from 6k to 14k

@Cyclingwithgasoline 7 ай бұрын

It’s simply a shift in recommendation on the dash. The engine was never restricted and isn’t “opened” when the dash is updated by a dealer. The tach “lights” just shift

@AbdurrahmanZedSaeed 7 ай бұрын

The drain plug washer is copper or aluminum?

@Cyclingwithgasoline 7 ай бұрын

I honestly don't remember for sure. I think it was aluminum

Do you need to go to the dealer to reset the ECU after an oil change? If not reset does it keep prompting for maintenance?

@Cyclingwithgasoline 7 ай бұрын

Yes, only a dealer can reset the oil change reminder on the dash. It doesn’t hurt anything if it’s not reset (I haven’t even gotten mine reset yet), but you’ll get a little maintenance reminder box on startup and then a tiny oil can light on the dash afterwards.
