hey guys Albe here for episode 5
BMW F800GS commuter mods
in this episode we are gonna tackle an old classic,
oil and oil filter change, it's going to be easy it's going to be quick
but mostly it's going to be
done properly so let's get on it.
before we get on with it
there are a few things worth mentioning
if we want to do all these property
first in my case I'm using Motorex
and as per BMW specs is going to be a
15W-50 weight, so this is 4 liters, should
be more than enough
other than that i'm going to replace the
OEM filter with a K&N performance
filter this filter comes with a nut welded
on it so that you can actually use
a torque wrench to to figure out the
torque of your filters, so there are a few
things I'm going to do to prep the
bike before i actually get on with the
old change first and foremost i'm going
to remove my Altrider skid plate and get it
out of the way
second of all I'm going to clean around
those areas
we're gonna remove something, for example,
I'm going to clean around the oil filter
I'm going to clean around the drain plug
and the dip stick, so that no
contaminants fall into it when those
parts are being a removed and third I'm
gonna run the bike and warm up the oil
a worm oil will come out way easier and
all the gunk and stuff will actually mix
up and come out as well so let's prep it
up and I'll catch you up in a minute.
ok, now that the bike has warmed up
get a 10mm hex key (allen key) get the drain plug off and let
the oil drain
BMW recommends that you change the crush
washer on the drain plug every single
time the drain plug
as a magnet on it to catch all the fuzz
clean out the magnet
let's take the crush washer out of it and
replace it with a new one, before we do that
let me pull the dipstick
and clean it. we can put the oil stick back in
now it's time to remove the oil filter. there
is obviously an actual tool to do this
but I don't have it
therefore i'm going to MacGyver
something together because why would I
ever have the proper tool for the job
would be way too easy
i'm actually
actually going to put in the description
a link where you guys can get a tool for
this thing because this is proposterous.
it seems like there's nothing else coming
out of the drain plug hole time to put the
drain plug back on, old drain plug
with new crush washer on it
ok torque it to spec which is 30 FT/Lbs
there you go, you guys can actually use a T55 torx in
lieu of the 10mm Hex key, ok so
the new oil filter going in, before we put
it on what we need to do is get some
fresh oil on the rubber gasket
let's torque it to 8 FT/Lbs, here we go
and that's it.
everything is back in place everything
torqued up the only thing left to do is
to add some fresh oil, let's put the
funnel in
now let's pour in 2.9 liters
BMW says that "too much or too little oil will
actually damage the engine" either way
time to put the dipstick in
and it's in between MIN & MAX, now run the bike until
the fan comes on, and
when the fan comes on run it for an
extra minute and then we're going to
check the oil again
ok so it's been running so now i'm going
to pull the dipstick and check the oil
level again and it's just the low to mid
line so I'm going to add a little more
and re-check, okay and now it's actually
where it's supposed to be
now what I suggest to do is, the next
time you take the bike out for a while
when you get back home
check the oil again and see if the level
is still up at this point what you can
actually do is check for leaks and it
looks like they didn't so let's button
everything back up so another task is
complete we change the oil and filter on
the BMW f800gs, I'll give it
a 2 wretches on a scale of difficulty
for more information go check my website
either there or there, www.albesADV.com remember if you
need anything to complete the task
links are in the description and well if you
liked it, like, comment, share and most
important SUBSCRIBE, see you next time.
ok let's take a look at the tools
you're going to need for the
installation first and foremost
obviously gonna need an oil filter, oil
a 10mm hex, a wratchet a torque wrench
a tool to remove the old oil filter
a 13 millimeter socket and an extension
