Hey everyone,
i received my Pitbill rear stand yesterday and I'm planning on changing the oil myself for the first time. My bike is almost a year old and I have put about 2200 miles on her. I figured it was time I needed to learn.
Any advice would be welcome. Currently, she has Mobil 1 oil in her. I think I'll continue that. It's pretty hot here in the south so 10W40? Also, what type of filters are deemed the best? Also, readily available as I want to pick one up at the store today. No time to order online.
Should the oil be slightly warm when I drain it? I've never changed the oil on anything before even though I've seen it hundreds of time on our cars. I know it's not rocket science but I want to do it right.
Approximately how much oil should I be putting back in? I don't want to overfill. Does it take a while to trickle down? If so, how long before I go back and top up?
thanks!
