BMW R1100rt engine oil change

[@cooldudeman111]

When purchasing the oil filter socket make sure to buy one with 14 flutes not 15. Learned this the hard way. Cheers!

[@Foudael]

thanks

[@hansmaaskant8988]

Very good clip nicely filmed. I like the sound of the birds in the background😂

[@wbgames7406]

I love that you use a torque wrench .. you are legit 🙏

[@leslienicholas8431]

I us 20w-50 but definitely going to try that 15w-50 next oil change as Castrol have stopped blending the 20w-50 mineral,so the old girl’s getting Castrol next oil change again,thanks for the video always great to watch other bikers doing there serving,always something to learn.👍🏻

[@chokeeartist]

how did 15w-50 work?

[@santiago7314]

What size is the socket ?

[@JLo1960]

Wouldn't it be less messy to take the sump plug out first then unscrew the filter?.

[@FrogsAngelsLondon]

I am afraid not. 2 different compartment which ever way you do it. Try it anyway and let me know about your experience

[@dsruddell]

no because the filter is full of oil. draining the sum first would not drain the oil from the filter. you could punch a hole in the filter first and let it drain. either way youll end up getting messy

[@stanykoninckx5921]

zorgvuldig gedaan 👍niet beter olie vol gieten? en olie 15w50 ? ik gebruik 5w40,ook goed?

[@woxon7100]

which is the key to the oil filter

[@jozsefcsontos1186]

Hali, I also have a 2000 vintage. I use 10w-40 of oil.

You got them amazon warehouse gloves aye??

[@tomrider4003]

Do You have fan to cool your engine while you let it run for 10 mins? Meaby you do.. if not this bad. Anyway you should warn in your movie not to do it if the bike is not equiped with the fan (all civil bikes except Police version does not have fan !)

[@FrogsAngelsLondon]

Always refer to the owners manual before attending any job. If in any doubts take it to your local dealer . That is the safer way to go.

[@jenmac287]

Is it done while on center kick stand?

[@filipzvak2542]

Thank you So much.

[@wbgames7406]

What’s your opinion on the price of $2500 for a ‘98 r1100rt with 63,000 miles ? It seems a tad high but not too much ... it’s such a lovely bike but I hate over paying for anything

[@FrogsAngelsLondon]

A bit pricy. I paid mine in the UK £1150 with 33k miles.

[@kirknra863]

I paid $2700 US for a 2000 one with 28,000 miles

[@wbgames7406]

Kirk Nra 😳😳😭🤩🙌

[@FrogsAngelsLondon]

Although 63K miles is nothing for that kind of bike if it has been well maintained and serviced, I'd try to negotiate around the $2000 mark. It is a very pleasant touring bike. Let me know how you got on. 👍

[@wbgames7406]

Frogs Angels London he threw in another set of saddle bags and a beautiful gas tank pack so I just ended up giving him the full 2500 and I’m so happy with the machine it’s just perfect t and runs so strong and smooth I’m smitten

[@deemas6585]

Fill the filter with clean oil before installing

[@santiago7314]

What socket size for the oil filter

[@gerrybourque7676]

74mm for the oil fter socket.

[@FrogsAngelsLondon]

Cheers buddy

Your ABS needs a AGM Battery ;-)

[@80sPhoenix]

Another RT video with faulty ABS light. What's going on?

[@mikerichey707]

t does this on start up all do it

[@vinjofin1972]

@@mikerichey707 No it does not. It only flashes like this when the ABS is broken or if the battery has low power. If the ABS lights are flashing at the same time before you start your engine its ok. If it flashes one at a time most of the time the battery is low. Start it. Ride it a little and restart and it will be fine. Mine does.

[@ДмитрийДемидов-р5и]

Сначала слить всё масло, а потом завернуть новый фильтр.

[@FrogsAngelsLondon]

Yes indeed why not?

[@vadimcat7222]

В утиль !!!!

[@OpaFPV]

Respectfully, clicking the torque wrench TWICE over-tightens the fastener. Metal stretches and by clicking a second time, you are adding more torque than specified.
