Ducati V2 Streetfighter and Panigale V2 Oil Change Procedure

[@toniostyle]

Great video. Thanks. I think overnight is overkill. But I understand. It’s your bike

[@nwtrackaddicts]

Definitely overkill but we had the time.

[@allenpearson9716]

Will you take it to the dealer to turn off the service light or do you turn it off yourself?

[@nwtrackaddicts]

We purchased the Obdstar iscan diagnostic tool which can clear any service lights and set the dates.

[@nwtrackaddicts]

I'll be putting together a video on the unit soon.

[@George-cv7nm]

Great video! Thank you. Are the bolts that you used to pull off the oil filter cover them M8 - 1.25 X 50mm bolts then? Thanks for verifying.

[@nwtrackaddicts]

Thank you, hope it's helpful. Use (2) M8x1.25 2" machine bolts for the V2, (3) bolts on the V4.

[@nwtrackaddicts]

50mm or 2" work great, extra length helps with the leverage pulling it off.

[@pd9rd]

Thanks for the explanation and video! What is the paddock stand you have for the back?

[@nwtrackaddicts]

That's the pit bull large hub stand. Works on both the V4 and V2 along with all the large hub models. Highly recommend the Pit bull stands. Been using them on the stack for 15 plus years.

[@pd9rd]

@@nwtrackaddicts Thanks! Let's see if I can get my hands on one in Europe.

Drain plug link or part number to buy it please thanks

[@nwtrackaddicts]

Here is the part. I ordered it from MotoD. It's manufactured by RaceBolt. Racebolt Stainless Race Drilled Magnetic Drain Bolt M14x1.5x12 RB-SSSUMP1412MR

[@aas061]

Nice work mate! 8 Nm for the oil filter plug isn’t much. On the v2 panigale its’s 13 Nm IIRC

[@nwtrackaddicts]

Thank you, appreciate it. Our local dealer spec's 8 nm for the oil filter cover bolts on both the V2 Panigale and Streetfighter.

[@SICSLIPKNUT]

Yeah it's deff 8nm

[@mholme5]

Do you ever have to add more, or is it pretty much always 3.5 quarts?

[@nwtrackaddicts]

Added a tinny bit more. I usually warm it up and let it sit a couple times to make sure the level is good.

[@mholme5]

⁠​​⁠Thanks for the reply. Your video helped me finish my first. The foil trick was a game changer. Thanks again!!

[@nwtrackaddicts]

​@mholme5 right on, glad it helped. Check out the chain adjustment video as well. These chains are hardly ever adjusted right from the dealership.

[@ducatininja3866]

Did you run the engine, then let it sit before rechecking the oil level or did you check the oil level from cold?

[@nwtrackaddicts]

Yes, once oil filled, ran engine till operating temperature was good, (about 15 minutes at 70 degrees ambient temp). Run longer or shorter depending on ambient Temps, typically 15 minutes is sufficient. Then let it sit for an hour to make sure. If additional oil is needed add a small amount then repeat the run/let sit process until at the right level. It's a bit overkill but this ensures the level is good.

[@omarandpedro]

didn't mention installing the drain bolt, but the oil stayed in. 14 Nm?

[@nwtrackaddicts]

I believe we torqued to 14 Nm but always check again the service manual.

[@twowheelin7361]

What’s the deal with the safety wire? Prevents them coming loose?

[@nwtrackaddicts]

That's correct, prevents critical items from coming loose. Not really necessary when riding on the street but we safety wire a good amount of items for track riding.

[@philatkinson1983]

How are you resetting the oil service light?

[@nwtrackaddicts]

For the service reset I take it to the dealership and pay for the reset.

[@a9entjones]

@@nwtrackaddicts melcodiag is free, and about $25 for a OBD2 dongle and adapter cable. Then you can clear engine codes too (after you fix whatever the code was for). 👍

[@nwtrackaddicts]

​@a9entjones thank you for the information.

[@jeremybartlett5563]

Over night without oil equals condensation. Not smart

[@nwtrackaddicts]

Appreciate the comment.

[@jamiesteiger6140]

Condensation will burn off in a few minutes of run time. Overthinking
