Check Engine Oil Level - Ducati Scrambler 800 Desert Sled 2019 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 (JASO: MA2 and API: SN).
Remove the oil filler cap 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.
Recommendations concerning oil
It is recommended to use oil complying with the
following specifications:
- viscosity grade SAE 15W-50;
- standard API: SN;
- standard JASO: MA2.
208
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.
