Your video is spot on EXCEPT for one thing. If you leave you GL1800B upright, even removing 95ml from the 4th quart will OVER FILL your bike. Ask me how I know. I let my bike sit upright, draining for 30 minutes, the drain hole wasn't even dripping. The oil drain plug is on the left-lower side and therefore you have to put the bike on the side stand, or at least tilt it on it's left side to get out ALL the oil. Then following your directions is spot on. I do appreciate you posting this vid, there's not many out there on the 6 speed GL1800B.

Coming from another Goldwing GL1800 6 speed owner...... thanks for making this video!!!

Thanks for the video. I bought a used 2018B and I love it. Still has full Honda warranty. My first oil change before parking for the winter is tomorrow and you're right you can save a lot of $$ doing this yourself.

From one Airman to another, thanks bro! Much appreciated.

Thanks... I won't own an automatic motorcycle for many reasons, now add one more 😉

After you initially drain the oil you can take the bike off center stand and use side stand to get the remaining oil out much quicker.

I called a dealer in Oak Creek WI. and they said I had to buy an o ring and a plug. I protested but they said everyone buys the new drain plugs with every oil change. On my 09 I never even changed the crush washer, no problem. I have never heard of any type of vehicle where you throw away the drain plug!

Most excellent....thats my bike with 16,000 miles. I've had many, but nothing compares to my wing. 72 years of riding...FASTEDDIE

Seems over tightening the oil filter can get pricey. Pro oil changers tighten the filter by hand mostly. If using a wrench only 1/4 turn for goodness sakes man!

It would be helpful to specifically go through the tools used, and why you chose the filter you did and also why you chose the brand of oil. I had never seen the filter wrench before and would guess there are lots of different brands of oil to choose from also. Otherwise a very helpful video!

If I’m not mistaken the oil drain bolt is on the side so you do not use a center stand. Also, check owner manual. First oil change does not occur until first service. However, my Triumph was after 500.

I'll give you one tip. I fill the oil filter with oil. Usually about 3 times. Until it stops equalizing both sides of the filter pleats. Than put it on the bike. When you start the bike there is no waiting for the oil light to go out. Reducing a dry run condition.

What drives me nuts is riders who don't install a fresh crush washers. Something that cost 20 cents. Its purely laziness.

Did you warm up the oil before the change? Seemed pretty thick when it ran into the drain pan. My Honda Oil filter wrench stuck to the old filter too. Removing it from the old filter was a pain. I have the DCT. Like you say, similar but a few more steps. What is the magic of waiting for 10K miles before switching to Honda Synthetic? Im sticking with the Dino 10W30 Honda GN4 oil. Just curious what is the magic of 10K.

So sir is that the break in oil that you just took out? I have a 21 6 speed as well I bought it with 1,500 miles on it and I have no record of the break in oil being changed every body I talked to say don’t get the break in oil out until you have reached 4,000 miles any advice would be great thanks

Can someone help how many quarts does this bike take a very simple question. Ok I heard him say 1/10 of a quart out of one of the bottles

what’s the oil filter part number?

I would have returned the wrench. Mechanics buy their own tools.

Nice video, but I believe you have the GL1800...not the GL1800B. I think the "B" model is the one without the trunk.

Just so you know, mechanics buy their own tools in most if not all dealerships. So, when you figure you are getting one up on the dealership you are actually taking $150.00 or so out of the mechanics pocket. Not cool.
