Maintenance
Warning
The oil may be hot to the touch.
Avoid contact with the hot oil by
wearing suitable protective clothing,
gloves, eye protection, etc.
Contact with hot oil may cause the skin
to be scalded or burned.
• Unscrew and remove the oil filter
using Triumph
T3880313. Dispose of the old oil fil-
ter in an environmentally friendly
way.
• Apply a thin 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
drain plug. Fit and tighten the drain
plug to 25 Nm.
• Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or
10W/50 semi or fully synthetic mo-
torcycle engine oil that meets spec-
ification API SH (or higher)
JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic).
• Start the engine and allow it to idle
for a minimum of 30 seconds.
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.
