ik ben op zoek naar en F800GS en ben van plan om het onderhoud zelf te doen. ik vind jouw filmpjes erg behulpzaam. Thanks for sharing. Uiteraard geabonneerd.

[@ErikBrabander]

Buenos notches 😂. Lekker bezig! Heerlijk om zo te kunnen sleutelen. Mss als m’n kinderen groot genoeg zijn en ik wat meer tijd heb dat ik ook zelf onderhoud ga doen. 👍🏻

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hoi Erik, zeker doen. Ik vind het nog steeds heerlijk om mn handen lekker smerig te maken. En het geeft heel veel voldoening. Wat ook goed is, is dat als je zo dicht op je motor zit je dingen ontdekt die misschien anders voor een probleem zou kunnen zorgen. Hoe vaak ik niet los getrilde boutjes en moertjes ben tegen gekomen.. Zo ontdekte ik ook dat mn achterschokbreker begon te lekken. Je zult maar op vakantie zijn he.👍😉🏍

[@EmSurvive]

Thanks brother! Really well made video :D

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks Aiizek1 👍🤛🏍

[@slamalenko]

great video. tip no256- open the oil filling cap when draining, fill the filter with oil before putting it on. oil level must be checked on the center stand according the manual.

[@anylookup]

I agree with the above - top up cup not loosened can create a bit of vacuum so it's good to let the air in - same rule for tanks or radiators. I also warm up the engine before oil change so it flows better as well as flush the engine with a bit of extra new oil before putting new in. Does anyone know what's the oil expansion ratio between cold and hot for measuring correct level and should it be measured hot or cold according to manual (am looking for one for F800GSA Adventure 2014)?

[@HDB112]

​@@anylookup Should be measured warm

[@oesda]

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a vide to change the spark plugs to the same bike - F800GS?

[@manuar_mex]

Hi, nice video. Do you known what size is the crush washer?

[@roadandwild]

Why do you use 10W40 instead of 15W50 as described in the BMW manual?

[@HDB112]

It was 10W40 before. BMW changed the recommended specification....

[@timothyupleger7007]

My 2014 F800GSA uses 15W50.

[@ziadajam5433]

Can someone explain why some have the led strip light with the two smal circle brights near the radiator and others like this one don’t? Is that the adventure spec or maybe a US spec? I bought a 2015 F800 GS adventure back home with the help of my dad. Still haven’t seen it in person. Can’t wait to ride it!!!

Para cambiar el filtro y el aceite hacen falta tantas herramientas ja ja ja

[@alfredojuan7433]

Great Video !!! Question as far i see oil filter torque are 11nm but…. On oil filter specs Mahle OC619 type BMW oem Torque its 20nm … i wonder why this difference..? Ill apprecciate your comments

[@TheOldMechanic]

Good question, I always go by the BMW official workshop manual and inthere is the torque for the oilfilter which is 11 Nm 😉

[@alfredojuan7433]

@@TheOldMechanic Good answer !!! Thanks you very much!!! And congrats your channel 😉

Thanks for the video. Could you give a link to the tool you use to remove the filter? I'm struggling with mine.

Super leerzame video! Miss een domme vraag, hoe en waarin maak je die opvangbak schoon en waar laat je de olie?

[@beatsmarttie5777]

Hallo old mechanic. Zojuist is het mij gelukt de olie van mijn f800gs te vervangen, dankzij uw video! Ik kwam er alleen achter dat de motor lekt bij 3 torx bouten met olie ringen die zich bevinden tussen de koppelingsdeksel en de carterpan. Ik kan nergens iets vinden over deze torxbouten, zelfs niet op de technische tekeningen. Ik vraag me af wat voor functie ze hebben. Ik vroeg me af of ik u de foto's kon doorsturen via mail of een ander platvorm. Ik zou het erg op prijs stellen als u mij wilt helpen. mvg, Maarten

[@TheOldMechanic]

Email mij even fotoos van die torx bouten zal ik kijken of ik je kan helpen 😉

[@alessandrofiori-bs2he]

is there a easy way to reset the ''service'' light?

[@TheOldMechanic]

nope only with the motoscan app or the Gs911

[@Christoph.Wagner]

how much oil was it in total (with new empty filter)?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Chris I never look how much I put in, as I am filling it up to the right level you know 😉

[@bolebolic7917]

I did the service today. With the machine at operating temperature the oil level in the engine was at its maximum, and I used 2400ml of oil (original BMW 15W-50)...

[@dwgalvin]

That oil looked very dirty. How many miles/kms since the last oil change?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi David I don't know. It was maintained by a BMW dealer..

[@cryptotron]

I was thinking the same thing. Oil looks like the engine is kaput. Silver shavings. Also manual suggesting 15-50 oil, any reason for 10-40.

[@PP-wz7mp]

@@cryptotron Depends on climate area...

[@HDB112]

​@@cryptotronmanuel suggested 10w40 before, BMW changed it at some point

[@ziadajam5433]

What was the point in putting half synthetic and not fully synthetic? Is it cost?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Ziad, in my point of view its the best of both worlds, and for a good prize too. With full synthetic there is the possibility (with a wet clutch) that its simple to slippery, and the plates starts to slip you know. The Castrol that I use is, for me, just the best. I never had a problem with it and my own R1200GS has barely any oil consuption, so why change it to another oil ? But if you want to use full synt oil, go ahead 😉👍🤛🏍

[@ziadajam5433]

@@TheOldMechanic makes sense. Thanks for explaining

[@johnpej122]

Bmw recommends 15w50 oil

[@Simoxs7]

@@johnpej122 they recommend 10W40 for colder climates and 15W40 for warmer climates (atleast for my 2009 model) Full synthetic shouldn’t be used according to BMW. My Manual actually says to only use non synthetic oil, but BMW also specifically tested and approved Castrol Power 1 4T for the F800

[@MrGibbonacci]

@@Simoxs7 Cheers for this was wondering why I was being recommended 15W40. I bought some 15W40 for UK (where it will be colder soon), think it will be OK?

[@EasyRider573]

Hi, I trust this message will find you well! I have a question about oil filter. Im looking for the correct oil filter for my BMW f800GS year 2010 model. Is the K&N oil filter for the f800GS 2013 model similar to the 2010 model?

[@quesreal2552]

Hello e r 573, did you find correct oil filter ? On the k&n website they say the kn 160 is correct for 2010 f800gs
