How often do you change your oil if you use 100% synthetic like me?
@jodyholt48753 жыл бұрын
New engines: the initial 650 mile, then again between 2,500 - 5K. Then again at 10K, then I start stretching them out, over time, to about 75-80% max of what their recommended is for North America. The reason for the frequent initial ones is the engine still will have higher to slightly higher amounts of internal break-in debris suspended in the oil. This is being pumped everywhere and these particles are being rubbed and ground against pristine new parts. The longevity of the engine and it's performance can be easily and cheaply be assisted by more frequent changes. The cost of 5 quarts of quality synth oil and a filter should not be a factor for owning this bike, and none of us bought this because it was the cheapest Adv bike out there. We all own a Ducati w/ a modified Panigale V4 superbike engine. :) .....and thanks Rembo for putting all of these vids together!

The shop manual says to warm it up first? I'm not sure if they changed it for the V4 GT motor, but the V4 motor on the Panigales employs a dry sump style system instead of a traditional wet sump. It sprays oil on the clutch instead of the clutch bathing in it. Which means for oil changes, the motor actually should be cold as the oil has to slowly collect in the bottom. Makes oil changes take forever as you gotta drain it cold, fill it, warm it up, then wait an hour or so for the bike to cool to check oil levels. EDIT: This also makes sense why your dealer and you noticed the oil level being higher after running the bike post-change. With the bike warm, a good amount of oil is still up in the motor. You drain it, fill with the recommended amount, and actually end up with more than that. The V4 motor is a masterpiece with 10+ oil nozzles throughout spraying oil on important pieces. It is heavily inspired by F1 motors. Traditional motorcycle knowledge doesn't transfer well over to it. If your local dealership hasn't recieved specific training on the motor (likely since COVID put a lot of those courses on hold) then they are probably doing oil changes the traditional way and ending up with overfilled motors.

Great video! I have a suggestion to help with oil change mess . . . As the oil stream started to slow down I could see splattering. I assume this is due to the stream passing over the grid that is on top of your oil catch pan. That used to happen to me until I devised a technique inspired by the "two bucket approach" to washing a car or motorcycle. You know the drill, one bucket filled with clean soapy water and another bucket to rinse your wash mitt in. I employ the same method for oil changes. Get a large, old fashioned oil drain container where the opening is like 18" in diameter that has a pour spout on the end of it. Do your main, messy oil drop into this pan and you'll eliminate all that splashing of oil. Once done, you can leisurely pour the oil from this first pan into the one you normally use and use that one to transfer to the oil recycling place. I guarantee you'll see a massive reduction in mess. While you now have two messy oil drain pans, the one I use to transfer to the oil recycling place is now spotless as there is no spillage and with the lid closed on top there is no risk of getting oil anywhere. I will wipe the main drain pan with a paper towel to get rid of most of the oil and then place that pan into a large garbage bag. Give it a shot.

No can do this time because you can only set the calendar date back to the date of the last service that the dealer software entered into the bike. I called them up and the dealers now have an option to let the owner do the oil change and they do the safety inspection and charge only $79.50 and reset the indicator light. This video is great and I am doing the oil change today and have the dealer service and indicator reset on Tuesday.

@@RemboUSMC I'm in the So Cal. It was interesting yesterday. There was a sign in the service department showing the service intervals for all "out of production motorcycles" My 2021 V4S was on it. It showed the annual service as a 1/2 hour service (my dealer charges $159/hr) so it was a $79.50 service. The sign was obviously printed by Ducati. They said that oil is no longer part of the annual service on my bike because my owners manual shows Oil as every 24 months or 9K miles so they can't require it annually. They did the service and reset the dash. The rub comes in that I got several software updates. One of them changed the service interval indicator on the menu. It now shows both time until next service (1 year) and miles to next oil change seperately. They said that I would be able to do the oil change myself and reset that indicator but I have a funny feeling that when those few miles are up there could be an issue of having to pay them to do the oil to reset that indicator. They did not seem to know for sure. I have to go back when the parts came in to fix my leaking fork seals and I'll research more then. BTW are leaking fork seals a thing on these bikes?

It was worth watching just to see that the oil filter cap holes were oversized and threaded! Thanks. Regarding 9000 miles oil change, Ducati wouldn’t recommend this if they hadn’t done 100’s of thousands of miles in the development testing and proved the oil was still in excellent t condition. Oil analysis is the real method of determining when to change your oil. Full synthetic is so much better than regular oils, there is no comparison. Regarding the color, blow-by of combustion gasses through the rings and valve seals is the main contaminant of the oil. Ultra-fine particulates are included in these combustion products and consist mainly of soft carbon. Of course, these turn the oil to a darker color. However, they are not a significant contributor to engine wear. The temperature capability of full synthetic is much higher, thus can go a long time before the lubricating properties deteriorate. I just changed my oil at 9000 miles and am totally confident in that choice. Amazingly, the oil level was perfect at the beginning and exactly the same at time of change. The engineering behind cylinder, piston, and rings has really gone to another level the last several decades. Engines just don’t use oil anymore. Americans changing their car engine oil at 3000 miles with full synthetic is a ridiculous waste of oil and money. That’s probably set by -6 sigma oil consumption rate, since people rarely check their oil level these days and go a whole oil change without checking.

You always have to question the motivation behind the intervals these manufacturers set. Can 4.5 quarts actually protect the engine for 9,000 miles, is it meant to reduce maintenance, or is it to be environmentally friendly by conserving oil use? Given the valve adjustment intervals that they are claiming, I’m guessing that they are going for reduced maintenance and environmental reasons. I think my Kawasaki’s and Honda’s have had oil change intervals of 8,000 miles. I do them at half of that.
@revilok86983 жыл бұрын
Manufacturers are notorious for recommending services more frequently than actually needed. They make money on services and want you in as often as realistically possible. Modern synthetic oils have been tested and shown to last far beyond what manufacturers recommend. It is a myth that just because the oil is black that it has lost its viscosity and is no longer doing its job. The reason the oil turns dark is that it is doing it's job by cleaning the engine and suspending the deposits in the oil so they can be removed with the oil. Now I have no issue if someone wants to change oil more frequently because keeping fresh oil in an engine is the best way to help it last as long as possible, especially in warmer climate areas but it doesn't mean you have to. I have run an air cooled Harley engine 3k miles past what the recommended service interval was, in the summer in FL, and sent a sample of the oil in to be tested. It came back with excellent results even though the oil was totally black. I'm not at all saying people should run longer intervals just merely pointing out that if you go a little over in mileage there is a great chance the oil is still doing its job.

I know some people have had success the way you mentioned, just threading them in enough to touch the case and then pulling to pop it off. Sounds good, as long as there's enough threads for that kind of force. The main issue is the cap cannot "wiggle," it can only rotate. So uneven force on any bolt point will cause it to just jam in and end up with sheared threads when it rips off. The cap I purchased is the TRO "Easy Off" Filter cap. It is for the V4 Panigales and Streetfighters. The cap on the multi looks very similar, but you might want to swing by the dealership and ask to see a spare to see if it's the same dimensions on the multi. Ducati likes to keep unique part numbers down thankfully, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same.

It was recommended to me to cut my mileage between oil changes (Toyota Tacoma) to half, because I live in Northern Alberta, Canada. I'll be doing much the same for the Multistrada. Do you have the specs for the 2 O-Rings (size/diameter), and the 3 bolts you used to push out the filter cover? Are the bolts just longer than the stock ones? And what is the oil filter spec? Thanks!

I have no specs on the O-rings but the bolts were a regular 8mm

Wow, we twins, I just finished changing my oil last week with 5,100, the oil got dark, by 9k the oil would be completely broke down in my opinion.
