Awesome tutorial

[@danielschultz6788]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. What 16mm extended socket are you using for the spark plugs? I have tried a standard one, as well as a thin walled one. Both cant get the spark plug as the hole gets too thin.

[@philtaylor5053]

Yup, filter is 11Nm NOT 25Nm

Never do a cold oil change. Ensure the engine is warm and heat is tolerable. This will ensure maximum oil is drained.

Hi! Great video! I am flying down to Cpt this weekend to pick up a 2006 R1200GSA and would like to change the oil before I fly back up. Where do you think one can get a tool to remove the oil filler plug in Cpt? And do you think Midas or Autozone will have that oil filter wrench? Thanks!

[@taicoproductions]

😎 the tool is 76mm, with 12 flutes. I believe I got it at Midas. Any spares shop could have it. I had to search a bit to find the one that works, so 76mm and 12 flutes. BMW will sell you one too $$$, and a few bike shop will have them. Good luck

@@taicoproductions Thanks! I managed to get one at TracMac and changed the oil at a friend's house. Tomorrow starts the 2000km trek back home.

I like your video, reading my manual book says 0.5 L oil to replace, however I saw you had a 4L dunk, how much oil did you replace on your filter and oil change as it looks so little 0.5 on the book 📚

[@taicoproductions]

Hi, i used between 3.5 litres and 4.0 litres of oil including the oil filter. I first filled the oil filer (+-300ml) and then put in about 3 litres. Then i ran the bike and rode it and then topped up the rest. I would say between 3.5l-4.0l of oil including spillage ;-)

[@ReNcEsTaR]

O.5l is the difference between minimum and maximum in the sight glass, a full oil and filter change should be a round 4l

[@mmaaddict78]

Is that oil filter wrench the same that is needed for a 2007?

[@taicoproductions]

I believe it is. I have an '06 and i believe its the same. I think in '09 it might have changed

[@cobusallers9606]

Don't know if this is still active - but where does one get a new Crush washer? PS from SA also

[@taicoproductions]

Hi Cobus, in Cape Town, i got the spares from Wicked Cycles in Paarden Eiland. Also from Trac Mac, and then from the agents, BMW Motorrad. They will sell you spares

[@markbourbonnais5378]

What’s the torque spec for the drain plug?

[@taicoproductions]

[@mimictongue2696]

WHAT KIND OF OIL DID YOU PUT IN???

[@taicoproductions]

Hi Jay, i used MOTUL 15W50 oil - 4 Litres

[@MrGargi007]

Why not 20W50 oil? i feel onl 20W50 oil

[@pete5405]

why not 15W50?

[@maxiducati1200]

Oil filter is 11 nm not 25 !!!

[@mmaaddict78]

German torque specs, good 'n tight.

[@Kolhozneg]

Why are you pouring oil into the filter?))

[@taicoproductions]

For start up purposes. So you’re not starting the bike “dry”, because you’ve drained all the oil out of the sump. A little oil in the filter gets lubrication going.

[@Kolhozneg]

@@taicoproductions it is stupid)) what to do if the filter is on the side?) first - the engine is still lubricated with old oil second - the fact is that the filter has a bypass valve third - it is easier for air to pass through a dry filter
