Engine Oil And Oil Filter Element - Yamaha TENERE XT660Z Owner's Manual

Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.0 ft·lbf)
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4-
1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Engine oil and oil filter
element
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil must
be changed and the oil filter element re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can re-
sult in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
10-15 minutes and then turn it off.
3. Remove the oil filler cap, wipe the
dipstick clean, insert it back into
the oil filler hole (without screwing
it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.
