I've done a lot of oil changes over the years, but never one on a motorcycle. There were a couple things I wasn't sure enough about to run out and tackle this on my own, but you covered them here...well...you covered everything here...front to back. Just know that you were appreciated by someone here in central Indiana today Dennis!! Thanks man!

Fantastic! One item to note that a kind viewer pointed out to me.....in my video, I say to screw the dipstick all the way in to check the oil. The manual actually says to just push it in until it seats, but do not screw it in to check the oil. I don't think it will make anything more than a minor difference in the oil level, but it is worth noting that I got it wrong in the video. Thanks for watching! I'm sure you'll do a great job!

when checking your oil.... warm your engine for a few minutes, the wait another 3-5 minutes after turning off the engine, always have the bike straight/vertical. remove the dipstick, clean it, put the dipstick back into the reservoir BUT DO NOT SCREW IT IN, re-check the oil level.

[@TellMyMother]

I have a 2002 Shadow Ace 750 VT750CDD, my manual says NOT to screw the dipstick in to check the oil level, just get the bike vertical then put in the dipstick and check the level. Maybe you have a different model. Great video, thanks.

[@dwcoffey]

You are correct! And thanks for pointing that out. I've always screwed it in fully to get a reading, but apparently that isn't necessary. It looks like it will only create a very slight difference (looking at my dipstick), but, for the sake of accuracy, it should only be put in far enough to seat, but not screwed in completely. Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment!

Awesome video, thank you very much. I was just wondering about using motorcycle oil compared to motor oil. I bought 10 40 oil that doesn’t have the stamp on the back just like you instructed but I’m hearing from people that you need to use motorcycle oil specifically or els you can damage the clutch.

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Seamus! According to Honda, as long as your motor oil does not have "Energy Conserving" in the compliance stamp, it is ok to use with a wet clutch. That's all I use and have never had a problem.

Hi Amanda, thanks for watching! That's great that you've put your pipes on....I bet it sounds great! I change my oil every 3000 miles. I don't like putting an oil-change sticker on my bike, so I just leave a post-it note on my toolbox with the next mileage point.

Thanks for watching, Max! I don't know if you've been able to get the filter off since commenting, but if not, I'd try one of those filter wrenches that have some teeth to grab the filter with and with the longest handles you can manage...they will give you more leverage on the filter. Make sure you are turning it counterclockwise as you look at the canister-end of the filter.

I ended up stabbing the filter with a screwdriver & twisted & it came right off with a nice little oil splashing. 😅

Hey Dennis will this work for 1998 Honda Shadow 750?

[@dwcoffey]

Hey Alex, I'm not completely familiar with the 1998 Shadow, but it should be very similar, yes.

[@alexnewman4269]

Okay thank you Dennis

[@rodgraves5813]

Must be 2014 or higher Honda Shadow aero oil change. Where's the oil plug?

[@rodgraves5813]

Not an American classic. The basic 2014 Honda Shadow aero oil change must be 2014, not American classic

[@dwcoffey]

Mine is a 2003 ACE. Oil plug is in the oil pan as shown in the video.

[@dwcoffey]

Yep, my bike is definitely an American Classic. 2003.
