A couple hundred miles, a handful of track days (and crashes), and some dyno time put our machine through the wringer. So it's time to dump the original oil, examine it, and refill with some fresh power juice before our next dyno day.

Thanks for making this video! I'm brand new to motorcycles with the MT03 being my first bike and I was sorta expecting to have to just figure out how to do the oil change myself haha. Probably couldve figured it out but WAY better to have a video for my specific bike!

[@TSTindustries]

Glad I could help!

[@rubberskilla2991]

Thumbs up just for the THUG LIFE moment😆

[@TSTindustries]

First try Fridays.

[@jedimastag]

LMFAO That glove toss at the end though!!!😂😂

[@lalzarzolianaful]

Still eagerly waiting to be launch MT 03 here in India, heard some news that Yamaha has planning to launch before December this year...

[@ilive4d80s6]

Now I'm definitely have to buy this awesome bike. Just need to find some money first.

[@TSTindustries]

You can do it!

[@Voltomess]

I did my first oil change and I think I overfilled my MT-03 by 400 ml idk what to do now if it's ok or it needs to be drained.

[@gagecuomo2745]

Could you tell me where I could buy those bar end mirrors for this bike? I'm not sure which ones to get because the oem handlebars have the threads inside. Please let me know when you can @TSTindustries

[@abishakebiswa7401]

i added 3 bottle of 1qt mobil 10w40 oil which is 2,838. which apparently is lot more than this bike needs. I haven't had any leakage or anything but should I drain the oil just to be safe ?

[@kenspix]

YES YES YES, That is the easiest way to create an oil leak!

[@sindthekid]

what brand wrench did you use to remove the oil filter?

[@boboscar99]

nice video man but ya didn't show how you reset the oil trip odom

[@NeonFlyer]

shouldnt you do an engine flush?

[@mareklipinski2356]

Thx for vid. Cant wait to do it on my own :))

[@josephkluck9526]

Just did my oil, but a day or so later, I have the oil inspection reminder popping up on my display (not the red warning light) how do I reset that?

[@TSTindustries]

Your user manual says how to reset that. I don't remember off hand.

[@josephkluck9526]

@@TSTindustries thank you, I referenced that and found it

[@LivingLikeGaryYT]

@@josephkluck9526 if you found it can you tell me how?

[@josephkluck9526]

@@LivingLikeGaryYT so with your bike on its electronic screen on press select until you reach the oil odometer press and hold select and it'll start blinking the oil sign and then you press reset and it'll reset it

[@LivingLikeGaryYT]

@@josephkluck9526 thanks a lot man! I fixed it

[@krisclement4159]

I just installed the WORX pack on mine it rips all the way to 13000.

[@TSTindustries]

That is great to hear.

[@Mergjan88]

What size torque wrench are you using ? 3/8 inch drive or 1/2 drive ? Thanks

[@TSTindustries]

the torque wrench in the video was 3/8 drive

[@djinnfree1]

i watch to learn how to remove... the blinking '''oil'' on control board dash code... no mention regarding this IMPORTANT things... tip-A-tam-POW!

[@konundrumgaming1123]

After my first oil change at 500-600 miles. How often should I change motor oil? (2023 mt-03)

[@KrisandFlash]

Thanks TST for making these very informative and useful videos! I always refer to you guys for how to's 🙂

[@liaskapchai1906]

Good video brother..from Mt 03 user from Malaysia

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks for watching

[@larsfreeburg1535]

Can we get an air filter clean/swap video on the 2020 MT-03? I’m struggling to figure mine out.

[@TSTindustries]

Oh man...I wish we had the time for that. Between design, project management, manufacturing input, etc....just no time to get back to that.

[@nihonkokusai]

Left knee trim remove behind there three Philips and youre there

[@danielmcgrath9369]

Quallity video as always,well done.

[@TSTindustries]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eyesofdarkness8528]

I figured it out thanks for the video

[@TSTindustries]

Great!

[@effiel8227]

If the engine top up view port showing empty aft engine run need to top up.

[@TheRroovictinN]

What oil did you use ?

[@iyeetsecurity922]

The quarts are on the table at the beginning of the video.

[@ckupcu]

Very cool video - great presentation!

[@yanivrafiezadeh3031]

I changed the oil just like in the video but my screen has the oil change light on. What should I do

[@TSTindustries]

there is a sequence of button presses that resets that. It is shown in your owner manual.

[@AegisHyperon]

My manual doesn't say anything about the washer

[@TSTindustries]

Typically owners manuals instruct the replacement of the crush washer with every oil drain plug opening. I have yet to replace one, but that is just me.

[@AegisHyperon]

@@TSTindustries says to replace it but Yamaha don't bother listing the screw size or the washer size

[@TSTindustries]

@@AegisHyperon that is because they want you to go to the dealer and pay 5.83 for a washer. Yamaha number is 4YS-E1198-00-00

[@Bstallday89]

All that beautiful information but I still had too screenshot and zoom in to catch what oil he put in it. Lol 10w 40

[@Mr_I_Got_One_Of_Those]

All that beautiful info that’s already printed in your manual 😂 Gen Z

[@boyuap]

nice to know keith thurman love motorcycle too.. good job man.!!

[@TSTindustries]

This is actually hilarious.

[@baecchi4153]

id crack loose the drain bolt and filter first before warming up the engine .. well thats just me on my r3 ✌

[@xmachete-_-7172]

At how many miles should de first oil change be done?

[@TSTindustries]

Your owners manual has that information.

[@Underbottom.Sandydown]

I recycle my oils on a pile of Christmas trees every new year.... i feel so green sometimes

[@johnrosedhuia1137]

Or 2100 ml, or 71oz

[@battleXking]

Im having problems try to take out the oil filter it feels really snug in

[@TSTindustries]

Use an appropriate filter tool.

[@earlbrentymbong5139]

Can you still use the leftover oil from the third bottle?

[@TSTindustries]

If you store it away from excess moisture you can use it later.

[@StrikerSG]

I'd use yamalube and original filter...

[@TSTindustries]

We used the recommended filter from a Yamaha Dealership, we just couldn't get Yamalube in time. As mentioned in the video, we definitely recommend referencing the owners/shop manual. This is just a guidance video.

[@ИванПопов-ц8д]

Thank you for very usefull guide! Could you be so kind to give a link for Service Manual?

[@TSTindustries]

Service manual has to be purchased from Yamaha. The owner's manual is available for download free of charge

[@chevelle0307]

Excelente! Aplica también para la versión anterior. Gracias

[@chanelcarpenetti3819]

ML = 2100

[@samr7923]

Would you be able to give me the exact oil for it I keep asking my iron pony and they keep recommending KN

[@TSTindustries]

It should show it in the video but it's Valvoline 10W-40.

[@kenspix]

@@TSTindustries Full synthetic?

[@chrispleasant]

Time interval to change the oil? (Less than 1k miles a year)

[@TSTindustries]

If you are looking for a figure on how often to change oil if it just times out instead of reaching a mileage of use then I would have to point you to the suggestions by the manufacturer of the oil you use. The oil itself does not expire but the additives do break down and oxidize over time so the best bet is to look up oil manufacturer recommendations.

[@chrispleasant]

Thanks for the response

[@jonnievic4571]

Yo I want that After market oil cup

[@TSTindustries]

Available on our website!

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

How to add 2.22? Does the bottle give 0.1 readings?

[@TSTindustries]

You don't have to be that precise. The level has to be re-checked once the bike is warmed up, and then you go by being in between indicator marks on the level window.

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

@@TSTindustries yea I just got told the same by someone on a Discord server. Thanks guys. I think can accomplish an oil change....hopefully lmao. Probs shouldn't own a bike if I can't at least do the oil.

[@joeyp4196]

is the 21 model gonna be the same?

[@sindthekid]

it should be

[@bloodcards3084]

I dont have a torque wrench. Just make it snug I guess?

[@TSTindustries]

I can't in good conscience tell you to do that. I have seen people crack their oil pan with their "snug" and others have a loose enough drain bolt to back out when using their "snug."

[@bloodcards3084]

@@TSTindustries update: it worked out fine. I accidentally tightened really hard when I went to take it off originally. But thinks its all good.

[@bradleychung8970]

What size washer do we use?

[@TSTindustries]

Whatever the washer is that comes from the manufacturer for the drain bolt. It is made of material that is specific to this bolt and is meant to deform easily and act as the sealing surfaces.

[@Logan24855]

Where do I recycle the oil?

[@TSTindustries]

Your local recycling center or automotive store.

[@Voltomess]

@@TSTindustries every automotive store acepting oil and filters? how about other fluids on the bike like brake fluid or coolant?

[@trilaxx]

What oil filter model is that?

[@TSTindustries]

The Yamaha OEM recommended one. You can find it at most motorcycle dealerships.
