Check Engine Oil Level - Ducati Monster 1200 Owner's Manual

Check engine oil level

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1)
on the clutch cover.
Oil level must be checked with the motorcycle
perfectly upright and the engine cold.
Oil level should be between the marks on the sight
glass. If the level is low, top up with engine oil.
Ducati recommends you use Shell Advance 4T Ultra
15W-50 oil. As an alternative it is possible to use a
motorcycle engine oil having the same degree SAE
15W-50 and meeting the following specifications
JASO: MA2 and API: SM.
Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil
reaches the required level. Refit the filler plug (2).
Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance
chart contained in the Warranty Booklet.
