Disposal Of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters; Oil Specification And Grade - Triumph Rocket III Handbook

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.
Ensure that the low oil pressure warning light
extinguishes shortly after starting.
Turn off the ignition, check the oil level using
the method previously described, and top-up
to between the minimum and maximum
level lines on the dipstick.
Note:
• When the engine is first started
after an oil and filter change, at
least 1 to 1.5 litres of oil will be
required to top-up the oil tank to
the correct level.
Maintenance and Adjustment
Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil
Filters
To protect the environment, do not pour oil
on the ground, down sewers or drains, or
into watercourses. Do not place used oil filters
in with general waste. If in doubt, contact
your local authority.

Oil Specification and Grade

Triumph high performance fuel injected
engines are designed to use 10W/40 or
15W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle
engine oil that meets specification API SH (or
higher) AND JASO MA.
Do not add any chemical additives to the
engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates the
clutch and any additives could cause the
clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergent
oil, castor based oils or any oil not
conforming to the required specification. The
use of these oils may cause instant, severe
engine damage.
