Check Engine Oil Level - Ducati MULTISTRADA 950 Owner's Manual

Check engine oil level

Engine oil level can be checked through the sight
glass (1) located on the left side of the engine block.
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) located on the right side
of the vehicle 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 authorised Service Centre at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance
chart reported in the Warranty Card.
To check the oil level correctly, carefully follow the
instructions below.
1) The level check must be carried out with engine off
for at least 2 hours, to allow time for the oil flowed in
the cylinder heads to reach the sump.
2) Position the bike with both wheels on a flat ground
and in straight position.
3) Then, check the engine oil through the sight glass.
