Learn how to change the oil on a Honda Goldwing GL1800. The Goldwing is a bigger bike, and so we’ll put the motorcycle up on the stand for this job. First, we’ll remove three covers to access the oil filter and drain bolt, and then we’ll drain the old oil. Then, we’ll replace the old oil filter. Then, we’ll refill the engine. How much oil does a Goldwing GL1800 take? It’ll take just shy of four quarts, and John will show you how to set the level precisely. Finally, we noticed some missing panel clips and pan screws when we removed the covers, so John will replace them before wrapping up.

The drain plug and filter are easily accessible without removing the front fairings. The type of filter wrench used here can also be used with the fairing on

[@fonemann6944]

I am sure that the owner appreciates that you put the correct parts back in. I hate it when people do "just enough" to get by.

[@vics-videos]

Thanks for including the torque spec (19 lbf-ft) for the oil filter. In case anyone needs this, the Owner's Manual for the 2003 GL1800 also states the torque spec for the drain plug is 25 lbf-ft.

[@JohnnyC10071959]

I have changed the oil in my 06 GL1800 15 times and never removed the lower cowl. Just remove the front section of the belly pan snd everything accessible

[@lblerg]

Wierd, I dont even have a "front section of belly pan". Mine is all right there.

[@kevinrams4325]

The aftermarket makes a nifty angled oil filter/plug wrench. This allows an oil change without removing the front cover.

[@jacknelson8061]

I have that same color ‘07. What a beautiful looking machine you have there!!!!!!!

[@Cruising_the_Dash]

Nice work John 👍

[@sheshe0444]

Thanks! Changing the oil was a breeze thanks to your video😊

[@jacksonf4]

There's really no need to remove the lower cowl. I can easily remove the drain plug and filter by leaving it intact.

[@PartzillaParts]

The manual says to remove it, we try to stick to the manufacturer recommendations. You can get in there without removing the cowl, but it's pretty tight.

[@LTVoyager]

Partzilla Probably hard to film also with the fairings in place.

[@DJFireUSA]

@@PartzillaParts you bear liability these days if you do anything not OEM. As others have said, removal of the extra parts is a waste of time and risks damage to the machine. Either way... nice video. Thx Did I miss the installation of a new crush washer?

[@elixier33]

@@PartzillaParts it's a piece of piss. The manual is for people who don't know what they are doing. Also fill the oil filter as well with oil before replacing.

[@lornegustafson3276]

I’m wondering what molley is in the HP40 SYNTHETIC OIL? How do I know if my oil has this additive? You didn’t mention replacing the aluminum compression washer on the drain plug. I’d like the Honda part number.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Nice bike! Alas it has too many covers from the engine before accessing the important replaceables!! i love the first 500km smooth joy of riding just after we change oil on any bike!!

[@walterjackson8449]

if you use a flat oil filter wrench show chrome makes one you dont have to remove the front

[@lornegustafson3276]

You can’t torque a flat filter wrench.

[@LynxGenisys]

I dont have any stabds anymore... trike... i built wood ramps, the left side has 1 less board in it...

[@joeybestcom]

Showing inside the bike

[@autojock4472]

Hello John, I wanted to know if you had a video on replacing the coolant reservoir? I have a cracked in mine, and dreading pulling it out. I have a 2008 honda goldwing gl1800 gl1800

[@richarddiaz8248]

Yes me too

[@lawdpleasehelpmeno]

Removing the front fairing is a pain I swear to god mine does not line up despite me screwing it in to all the right spots.

[@emilioplays1852]

Keep up the good work 💪

[@jahmantihema6472]

would you not fill the filter before putting back in dry??

[@MrLew1965]

Defintely !! Also let that filter absorb oil for a while ... It's the first thing I do before starting the oil change, the paper medium soaks up alot of oil ! Lol

[@lornegustafson3276]

Also smear oil on the filter gasket to ensure a good seal.

[@robcraft1373]

Sould you fill the oil filter up with oil, before putting it back on? Also sould the washer be changed on the oil plug after every oil change?

[@PartzillaParts]

The crush washer should be changed each time according to the manufacturer. Filling the filter with oil can be done, but is not necessary

[@robcraft1373]

Partzilla thanks

[@jimsmith2616]

Crush washer ?

[@ronniegilbreath4179]

John. I have had my 2002 1800GL for just over a year and have had repetitive F1 codes 26. Replaced the left knock sencer it holds for a short time then comes back. I just ordered a sensor from Honda hopefully this will hold. Any advice?

[@fredwalker5232]

I have a 2008 gold wing trik and it's hard for me to put it in Nuteral ,the clutch is easy to pull in but the oil window for the clutch is showing almost full ,What can I do to get the gold wing to change easyer to Nuteral and the clutch tighter

[@rugby3874]

What would have happened if you put that rest of the oil in there

[@eitanmizrahy9840]

Hi, I got confused when you say cold whether "sub-100 sub-80 what is that mean?

[@MrLew1965]

Why are you not priming the oil filter ? Lol

[@unbannable9205]

Same reason he didnt let all the oil drain out and he used a 12" extention to torque an oil filter? Who does that? That actual torque spec will be off with that long of an extention and besides always spin it down till it touches and then 3/4 turn. He is a hack

[@phillipvazquez284]

Could you please help me with this problem don't know what else to do I have dismantled the 2005 goldwing my 1st to get to my throttle. I don't have no snap in my throttle I don't know what else to do I have tried everything I'm exhausted frustrated it's been 5 days of getting no were.

[@MrBobbi93]

Hi, I know this will be off topic for this video, but I have a 08 CBR 600 RR and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some fairings and some bolts to go with them. I would like oem, but i had them priced and it was a couple thousand dollars and I just can’t spend that. If someone could help me I would appreciate it.

[@ktmman50]

In the hotter weather what Weight of Moto synthetic motor oil?

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Is checking the oil without screwing in the dipstick a 'Wing thing, Honda, or typical for dipstick equipped bikes in general?

[@PartzillaParts]

It's typical for any screw in dipstick type oil gauge

[@daymaker5460]

Will my 2019 be the same?

[@buildingourdaydream9804]

Ummm, no need to replace the lower fairing on my 2005. Great video otherwise.

[@donniehopkins8439]

Help me out here. Is there no one out there who is going to make some basic videos on maintaining the 2018,19 wings. I am all for free market and capitalism, but is there some sort of agreement with the fellows selling the maintenance packages that no other you tubers will make said videos?

[@PartzillaParts]

No, they are just a pain and no one wants to put the time in. Anyone can make maintenance videos if they have the time and effort.
