Check engine oil level
The engine oil level can be checked using the oil
dipstick on the filler plug (1).
The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
If the level is low, top up with engine oil.
Ducati prescribes the only use of SAE 15W-50/JASO
MA2 oil and recommends the use of Shell Advance
4T Ultra 15W-50 oil (JASO: MA2 and API: SN).
Remove the oil filler plug (1) and top up until the oil
reaches the required level. Refit the plug.
Important
UK VERSION: Ducati recommends you use
Shell Advance DUCATI 15W-50 Fully Synthetic Oil.

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 in this booklet (sub-section "Scheduled

The level should be checked at warm engine,
about 15 minutes after the engine has been stopped
1) Warm up the engine and keep it idling for at least
30 seconds before turning off.
2) Turn off the engine and wait 10\15 minutes to
allow the oil to flow completely inside the sump.
3) Position the bike with both wheels on a flat ground
and in straight position.
4) At this point, remove the filler plug (1) and wipe off
the engine oil on the oil level dipstick with a cloth.
