Honda VTX 1300r complete oil change

This video will show you how to perform an oil change to your cruiser bike, It should work for the regular 4 stroke engine of any other cruiser out there. In my case, the Honda VTX 1300r

[@jmhsmith9452]

Very good video I've changed oil hundreds of times and still learn from watching others do it. Thanks

[@michaelcoulter714]

Why do people always over tighten the damn oil filter ? 1/2 turn after it touches Max !

[@pneumaticnomad5122]

I've been using the same technique, however if you get a lower drip pan, you can use a single piece of 2x6 in the back and another one for the kickstand, eliminating the whole scaffold ancient pyramid building in the back and your bike gets to sit a lot straighter so you empty a lot more efficiently. As a precaution, I wedge a 4x4 right under/across the front of the bike so the frame leans on it and makes it almost impossible to tip to the right. Works every time. Thanks for the vid though bud - Ride for Life!

oil filter way too tight , I install it hand tight , with clean paper towel

[@shoup2882]

The VTX 1300 is not a 4 cylinder motor like you say at 17:25, it has a twin cylinder, (that means 2), 4 stroke motor. And a 5000 mile MINIMUM between oil changes? Don't you mean 5000 mile maximum?

[@doncrain2029]

Excellent job on the video Carlos. Thank you for posting it.

[@Funkyspork337]

Very helpful and thorough tutorial. I have a 130OR and the process is close to when I had my Boulevard but just different enough for me to want some clarification. Thanks a ton!

[@jeffbridges3974]

its called a socket 17mm socket and socket wrench.. thanks for showing me where the oil filter was!!

[@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641]

5 years later and still sound like an asshole Jeff.

[@mykuljay]

Many thanks for taking the time to show this! I have a 2006 VTX1300C and I just might be able to do it myself!

[@thickheart28]

Thank you amigo, my vtx is about due for an oil change and this'll help. I've done my share of oil changes but it always helps to know the amt/weight of oil, placement of bolts, etc.

[@delansanjose2520]

Great video. Very helpful and informative. As for the comment about using clean oil to use on the O ring, it isn't that serious. Been doing that with my truck for 13 years and it has never done anything negative to it. Unless of course, you include dust and other large particles in it. I am definitely doing that this weekend to change my oil in my VTX. Thank brotha.

[@reno380]

tighten a filter with a oil filter removal tool? never do that! wipe off old oil and remove oil filler cap/dip stick and wipe it clean also.

[@skull2xl]

i just got my 1300 fury, thanks for the heads up

[@HospitalmanMikey]

s speas is it pretty much the same with the fury?

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

That was very helpful and thanks for taking the time to make the video for those that appreciated it. I have a 2004 1300r and the video was very helpful...no more trips to the shop. :-)

[@noname-wm2xb]

good video .but maybe should show proper way to check oil level when done

[@bernardogomes7805]

Excellent! I have 2006 same motorcycle, I’ll using your ideia next time I will do my maintenance. Thank you!

[@zorlofe]

Great job on the video and what an excellent way to get your bike high enough to change the oil! Thanks for posting the video!

[@jakebuckingham9052]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video.. Very helpful!

[@bernardogomes7805]

Excellent video and brilliant technique! Bless you!

[@chavarriaz]

Awesome video. I appreciate the detail you went into. I need to change the oil in my bike but was not sure which bolts to remove and did not know about the specific oil to use so this cleared it all up. Thanks.

[@ScottVanArendonk]

very helpful. Just complete my oil change. Thanks for the help!

[@ChrisWJames]

Great video man. I picked up a 04 vtx and wanted an oil change. The dealer where i live wanted $50 plus a 4 week wait. I'll just do it myself. Great idea instead of a lift too. If it's any consolation, I use dirty oil on my filter O-ring too ;)

[@spanky522]

You would actually take your bike to a dealer to have the oil changed? Are you completely lazy or stupid? It's so easy you should be able to do it with your eyes closed after the first time.

[@Customsouthernarms]

I love how you say the word "loose". :) Thanks for the video!

[@vodotech]

Good Video , I Have VTX 1800 C but I Think it will be exactly the same thing , I like when u don't freak out about little details like some people do like old oil on filter haha Good JOB man !!!!

[@carlosmorgan8123]

Remember always do you have to change oil in the final drive in same time

[@jonathancid9712]

Se puede usar el castro 10w40 también

[@mr.kemo1977]

Thx alot . I want knoe how I clean carburetor and how I adjust it after clean.

[@twestcase]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@miniblanco22]

Great video Carlos! Just bought one for myself. Have had a sport bike. Pretty similar.

[@neonseacow]

I removed the oil filter and ONE of the bolts to drain it, but I forgot to take off the front bolt. Is this a problem?

[@GARGOLASPERFORMANCECOATINGS]

Thanks for the video ! Ive done allot of bike oil changes and all of them are alike with a few differences , do you know if the vtx 1800 c is the same mill in quantity ? Thanks !

[@MrNowakles]

Thanks for the video. Very good instruction to follow.

[@dendenabdel680]

Hello, thanks for the video, i like it so much, the question is: How much oil does it need 3 bottle + 700( in litters). Thx

[@taimoc]

Great video Carlos. Very informative. Thanks for posting.

[@diningroomfish5470]

Great job brother

[@kippercat123]

Why are there two oil nuts at the same level of the oil pan ? What purpose does that serve

[@spanky522]

There's a low spot by the second oil plug that doesn't get drained completely from the other plug, so they just put another plug there so you can get ALL the oil out. Some complain about why they put two drain plugs in, but Inver had a problem with it on mine. Just another plug to remove, no big deal.

[@terrytak1876]

Love the hard bags & color of your M/C., a little tedious on the actual oil & filter change, ccw to loose a nut really ? bit too elementary IMHO!

[@MicMurphy1981]

Great video great job on the change it showed me a lot!

[@emilianozapata1954]

carlos que buen video brother acabo de comprar una moto igualita, crees que los frenos de atras sean dificiles de cambiar??

[@ItalianMetalHED]

Why did mine take exactly 3 quarts and was full?!

[@knirb01]

Thanks for posting, very helpful.

[@di2cu2b]

Why do I see So Many guys pouring the oil "upside down"? They're designed to Not spill & glug!

[@hovafl]

Very helpful video thanks.

[@skylarfeigel8556]

Hey bro where did you get that seat? It looks really nice. I have a 2008 1300 and I need a better seat for long hauls with my girl.

[@suntzuwarsword1964]

Thank you

[@ZeusJK16]

Very informative video Carlos.

[@domingoslobo5019]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@amarrama1970]

If you only hand tighten the oil filter can it come loose??

[@futuremarine2013ify]

Good video man what kind of pipes is that

[@AKennethNolan]

Super helpful, thanks!

[@Robert-ss8tv]

[@samuelvelez7166]

What is the best oil for a vtx1300r

[@Linuxwarlord]

Great vid, very helpful! I have a 1300C, so it will be the same. Thank you Sir! ;L)

[@williamnewton2786]

Why does the VTX have two drain plugs?

[@southside1975]

most bikes do but one is on the side of motor and one under I have a 07 vtx and use 1 drain plug not both no need same level.

[@chiltonkillsyou]

what kind of saddle bags do you have?

[@Borisruzo1]

Hi, ok, how much the bike? thanks

[@cvsd1]

Do you check the oil level with the bike straight up or on its stand

[@jacaughron55]

As straight up and down as u can get it or feel comfortable w while doing it at home

[@artimesbabai]

Good man

[@Sullivan174]

124.8 ounces to be exact.

[@jonnyhogarty]

rotella t6, nuff said...

[@Stevelena2010]

the filter states hand tight only yet you use your tool for removing the filter to tighten it. you wreck the oring by over tightening it. hand tight means hand tight car or bike. also you put new filter on then put contaminated oil on the filter seal. my god man, plz use common sense.

[@TheGLOCK17shooter]

There is so much wrong/misspoken information in this video it's actually painful to watch

[@emilianozapata1954]

TheGLOCK17shooter hey ass whipe this is a great video you don't need to know exact words for everything you piece of shit

[@Godlikehenry]

WOW BOTTOM IS FLAT!!!!! Use a motorcycle lift. EZ MODE

[@knirb01]

because everybody has a motorcycle lift.

[@Godlikehenry]

Umm they are under $200 at the store. If you have a bike and want to do DIY, then it is imperative to own one.

[@knirb01]

I changed my oil by rolling my bike onto some blocks that cost $0. I'll get a lift if necessary but with everything costing close to $200 for motorcycles it gets expensive. Not everyone has money to spend
