BMW F800GT [2014-] OIL & OILFILTER CHANGE. Motorcycle maintenance made easy The Old Mechanic.👨‍🔧--🏍

[@72meverick]

Great manual as usual. Thank you for telling me how to use the wrench (torx) and for giving the tightening force (Nm) I am scrupulously recording everything and will use it in my work. I saw all your F800 GT videos, you are my guru hehe. Best regards from Poland.

[@aulonharizaj3655]

I’m doing it first thing tomorrow morning! Love your videos Sir Old Mechanic! :)

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks Aulon

[@JeMasLT]

This is simple video. I hope you will not stop doing videos. It gives some vibes to do all maintanance by my self. Also will try this winter to clean and calibrate carbs. Would be nice to see how you do it. Honda CB600F4 owner.

[@andrewhayes4246]

My bmw book says 15W50 not 20W40. API SJ Why do you deviate from this stipulation?

[@GoemonIshikawa13]

Thanks for this video, to change oil+filter+air filter do I need to nake all the bike? It seems quite a long work and many things can go wrong. Any suggestion, except "be careful, pay attention"?

[@fredericdupeyre8650]

Votre vidéo est limpide et j'aime bien comment vous présentez cela. Merci.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Your welcome 🤗 👍🏻👊🏻

[@AnthonyKnight-p5j]

These videos are an absolute Godsend, thank you for posting them. Do you have one that covers the removal and replacement of the rear swingarm and eccentric??

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks Antony, Not at this moment but when that needs to be done, I will make a video about that too. grts from The Old Mechanic

[@juliengonzalez1860]

How do I change the drive belt? Thank you

[@vasiliyd4278]

Приветствую ✌️ какой интервал вы проезжаете в километрах перед заменой масла?

[@TheOldMechanic]

About 6 to 7 thousand km

​@@TheOldMechanicспасибо за ответ, привет из России✌️

[@cagr4249]

Please be careful: because of the dry-sump oil circuit NEVER check the oil level at cold engine or let the engine just run for a few seconds before the oil check.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Always check the oil level at operating temperature 😉

[@petro.southafrica]

Hi. Please advise if any videos for tention the drive belt on on that BMW F800GT ☝️✌️

[@5765937]

Thank you

[@seand9882]

Would have been nice to know how much oil you put in afterward 🤔

[@TheOldMechanic]

Until its on the right level 😉

[@seand9882]

Just finished the change..add 2 and 3/4 quarts, drive it for 15 min, check and top off accordingly. 😏

[@sito2992]

Great video. Did you ever use flush engine fluids ? What you think about it? Regards

[@TheOldMechanic]

In the past I have flushed an engine, when it was neglected by its owner for years. I used cheap oil and let the bike idle for 10 minutes, then renewed it with my beloved Castrol 😉

[@sito2992]

@@TheOldMechanic thank you for quick response. I used "Flush engine" when I maintained car engine. I have never heard that any one used it for motorbike. Anyway flushing engine with a cheap oil is great idea too.

[@maureenhindhaugh4702]

The gear change especially form 1st to 2nd on my 2019 reg f800gt with 60,000 km is dire, will a different oil help?

[@debjackson9013]

Thank you great video but I’m a retired lady not a guy lol😂

[@TheOldMechanic]

Your welcome Dep 😉

[@hondavaradero125greattimeb9]

Hello, first of all thank you for your super helpful videos! my question is the oil, you use 10w40, bmw the 15w50 is used. Is there a reason you don't use 15W50?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi, actualy not perticular that I use the 10w40. It does extremely well in all of my bikes.😉👍🤛🏍

[@adamt.9694]

Initially BMW recomended 10W40 and at some point they changed to 15W50. It's something to do with the behaviour of the hydraulic timing chain tensioner apparently.

[@Sweep29]

Always used 10w50 before...Just put 15w50 in mine for the first time. What a difference...engine seems quieter but gear changes are a lot smoother and less clunky.

[@mattschumann1663]

Did you reset the service interval? If so, what diagnostic tool did you use?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Matt, I used my GS911 but today I would use the MotoScan app 😉🏍

[@mattschumann1663]

@@TheOldMechanic Thanks so much. It appears that MotoScan does not work with Iphone, IOS, which is what I use. I have found some alternative devices and apps though.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Matt, please share that with us
