Check Engine Oil Level - Ducati Scrambler 1100 Owner's Manual

Check engine oil level

Engine oil level can be checked through the sight
glass (1) located onto 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 (JASO: MA2 and API: SN).
Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil
reaches the required level. Refit the plug.
Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a
Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance
chart reported in the Warranty Card.

SAE 15W-50 is an alphanumerical code identifying oil
class based on viscosity: two figures with a W
("winter") in-between; the first figure indicates oil
viscosity at low temperature; the second figure
indicates its viscosity at high temperature. API
(American standard) and JASO (Japanese standard)
standards specify oil characteristics.
