1. Sump plug
2. Oil filter
Secure the motorcycle in an upright
position on level ground.
Position the oil drain pan beneath the oil
filter.
Unscrew and remove the oil filter using
the Triumph service tool T3880313.
Dispose of the old filter in an
environmentally friendly way.
Prefill the replacement oil filter with new
engine oil.
Apply a smear of clean engine oil to the
sealing ring of the new oil filter. Fit the
oil filter and tighten to 10 Nm.
After the oil has completely drained out,
fit a new sealing washer to the sump
plug. Fit and tighten the plug to 25 Nm.
Remove the oil filler plug.
Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50
semi or fully synthetic motorcycle
engine oil that meets specification API
SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as
Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W‑40 (fully
synthetic) engine oil, sold as
Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W‑40
(fully synthetic) in some countries.
Do not overfill or exceed the capacities
given in the Specifications section.
Start the engine and allow it to idle for a
minimum of 30 seconds.
Caution
Raising the engine speed above idle,
before the oil reaches all parts of the
engine can cause engine damage or
seizure. Only raise engine speed after
running the engine for 30 seconds to
allow the oil to circulate fully.
Make sure that the low oil pressure
warning light extinguishes shortly after
starting.
Caution
If the engine oil pressure is too low, the
low oil pressure warning light will
illuminate. If this light stays on when
the engine is running, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the cause.
Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause engine damage.
Turn the ignition OFF, check the oil level
using the method previously described,
and top up to between the minimum
and maximum level lines in the sight
glass.
