How To Do An Oil Change

[RockerGuy]

Wow!!! Did you go to some high end motorcycle dealer? Even if you dont want to do it yourself then go to Pannon sports and they charge you 25$ for the labour and around 30-35$ for oil and filter. By the way, good work Banger! Which year is your R6?

maybe a back rub was included from the pretty girl at the front desk.

Not a high-end store or a Bike dealership.

Oil $54.95 (Belray-Synthetic), Yamaha Oil Filter $12.99, Labour $42.50 Tax $14.36 Total: $124.80

Heck, they charged more than we paid this week for the 8k Inspection on my wife's EOS. VW dealer charged $90.11 $35.75 labour, Filter $11.89 and synthetic oil was $37.50

Install a fresh drain plug washer. Their like a dollar so why not right?

If you have a I4 engine and the oil filter is behind the header pipes, use tinfoil to form a funnel under the filter. This will catch any oil from the filter any keep a mess to a minimum.

+1 you can also use cardboard.


If you don't have a strap wrench to take the filter off, a large adjustable pliers will work also. If you use a K&N filter they have a nut on top so you can use a socket or wrench to loosen the filter.

How do you guys (legally) dispose of the waste oil afterwards?

How do you guys (legally) dispose of the waste oil afterwards?

take it your city's waste disposal center, or I think most auto parts stores will take it as well, might have a small fee associated with it though.

For the city of brampton, you can dispose of upto 80L of fluids per day, free of charge.
