How much oil?
How much oil do I need to put in? Im flushing, and puttin on a new oil filter.
|
Four quarts.
Oh, an R1 might need a bit more. |
Start by filling with 3 quarts. Start the engine, and let in run for a minute. Turn off engine, wait 2 minutes, and check level. Add oil until it reaches the top of the scale on dipstick. Adding 4 quarts may overfill, which isn't good.
|
should i run with the old oil filter? then once it fills up on the dip stick replace the filter?
|
NO, why run clean oil through a dirty filter? My car uses 4+ quarts and I change the oil and filter every 2000 miles. Since the filter is inverted it's almost always fully drained when I change it anyway.
|
I'll usually give it (the oil filter) a little 1/3 turn while I'm draining the old oil. This makes it much easier to drain the filter completely. :)
|
That is a good tip Natey!
|
do you guys doing oil filter relocation or leave it in that little hard to reach spot?
