Just in process of an oil change, so I warmed up engine and then pulled filter sump plug and gauze filter out and left overnight, decanted oil tray into an empty container and I think I've not even got 3lts out ?
Does that include the oil from the old Oil Filter itself? Did the same recently on a Monster and there was about 1/2 ltr in the removed filter unit.
If this helps, when my 1299 was new, up until around 1800 to 2000 miles, I found it used some oil. It needed topping up once a week, albeit very small amount, i also found on oil changes it didnt pump out much. But it did stop after 2000miles and oil is always constant now. No usage at all.
How was the level before draining. I did it recently and my level was down to the minimum mark. That it was almost 1 litre less.
Well i had 4200kms on mine, when i saw almoust zero oil. As i had service at 5000 i told dealr that my mts consuming so much oil. They said they will check... they did service and nothig was found. Anwser was, that new engines use oil as are they new. Well 2 days after my ride, my MTS stayed in garage as i noticed oil leak under bike... oil hose from radiator was leaking. 7000kms on mts.
@mladench that looks like quite a bit of oil. It looks like its the hose itself to me, and not the O-ring on the pipe fitting at the engine end. what was the cause, poorly crimped hose, pipe worn through further up ?
dont waste it; annual service Saturday and apparently ducati dealers have to use Shell oil now; £64 just for the kin oil
Well problem was hose by itself. It was leaking. New hose they changed to new one with clamps and inserts.
