Removing the drain plug first makes changing the filter a lot less messy 😉

I’ve got a 1300GT so this is REALLY helpful as I’m doing my oil change myself for the first time. Thanks Matt!

If you make an aluminum foil trough under the filter you can usually get all the oil that comes out of the filter in the drain pan without getting it on the headers

Excellent video and instructions, thanks Matt.

Nice clear simple video with good audio👍🏼

Thanks for this very helpful video 👍🏻

The chripin on the background is the ideal background sound for this type of video. Added to my k1300s video maintainance list :)

Excellent video! Thanks!

A big help to me with your vids , thanks 👌

very good tip to heat up the bike before oil change!!

Great video ! The K1200 has the kickstand blocking the oil filter. Quite a challenge for a 71 year old man to balance a bike and remove a stuck filter at the same time.

thank you! i will use the same way on K1200s

Just a quick tip. According to the RSD there is 1/2 liter difference between the Min & Max marks. This is a fantastic bike with great sound and the quick shift is just plain fun.

This K1300 is better than the K1200 I followed.1st Removing the oil from the top tank before draining from the bottom makes sense.

Thx for vid

Sight windows on a wet sump engine are a pain to look at because of how low they are, which is why I prefer a dip stick. You've got it easy on a dry sump engine.

Hi Mat , TY for your videos .. Have you video about cooling replace ?? . Thanks ¡¡

Awesome! that helped me today. Can someone please explain why bmw k1200s have a oil reservoir instead of wet sump? There got to be a reason for it I mean.

Hello brother thank you for the video. I have been looking at one of these bikes for a while. I see one where i live with low miles only 158 and mint condition i was wondering what kind of problems if any have you had? And how do you like the bike. The one iam looking at is a 2006 K1200s. Yellow and black. Its a beautiful bike but i am comming from Suzuki's ..lol if you go to my page you'll see the bikes i have owned in the past. Thank you

great vid. and thanks. Is the oil change the same for a K1200GT (2008)? I'm thinking it is

Hello. Thank you for you video. Do you know what size of tool I need to rémoise the oil filter please ? Is it a 74 or 76 mm. And how many facettes. 12 or 14 ? Thank for your help. Richard france 🇫🇷

Thanks for your video. I followed your directions and also opened the oil plug to let the oil drain from the bottom. The K1300S is supposed to take 4 liters with the oil filter changed. I added 4 liters but the oil level stayed beneath the minimum marker next to the plastic tube. Does that mean I need to add more oil until the level reaches between the minimum and maximum markers?

Matt, what is the correct capacity? My owners manual states two different values, both say WITH a filter change. One says 3.5 l, the other 4 l.

Hi Matt, I believe if you do not remove the plastic hose to drain the oil and only remove the bottom bolt + filter you can drain all the oil, am I wrong? Thanks a lot for the vídeos! Greetings from Brazil!

nice video ...whats the K&N code # filter? what oil do you use?

Why is it necessary to remove the oil line under the seat when there is a drain plug under the oil pan?

So is this a dry sump machine given how remote the oil filling location is?

What's that tube you removed from the bike near the oil fill?

Can you just skip the drainhose and only do the drain plug to drain oil ?? (and filter ofcourse)

Why do BMW put a 12v socket by the gear leaver???? 🤷‍♂️

Let me point at the oil filter....

How much oil was roughly trapped in the oil pan ?

There are like 47 videos on how to change the oil, in this bike, this is the only one that addresses changing the oil filter, and yet even this one compleatly skips over how to remove the fairing to get to the oil filter to begin with.
