BMW K1600 Oil and Filter Change 

Gday Jay Removing the 2nd sump plug is a precise action to ensure it doesn’t contact the bottom sump plug hole and falling into the lower sump. Enjoying your videos in Australia mate 🇦🇺

At 5:35 You said 97 foot-pounds for the oil filter torque but I think you meant 97 inch-pounds which is 11 Newton-meters.

What kind of oil do you use and what year canam filter on your new 2020 GTL

Good bit of info on the dual sump plug setup ... K&N oil filter ... Tut Tut, very low quality filter with minimal paper element inside,... I stopped using them when the welded nuts kept snapping off on removal.

Nice post, thanks. Is the upper sump plug steel? If so would magnetising the 5mm long hex help in your opinion? Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Love your oil change video. It's been a year, how does the Lucas oil perform? Tell me about that 👍

You MUST carry extra oil in your bag at all times !! These bikes burn oil especially when you’re 1500 to 2,000 miles of your next service . I like to carry 10 fluid ounces of oil in one of those empty Canada Dry / Club soda bottles. One time my check oil warning registered 100 miles from home. My wife was good enough to bring me some BMW oil. Since then my warning ⚠️ has gone off two more times .. and I’m prepared now ! 😎🤙

I used the K. &N filter on my 2011 GTL, and when I got on it to test ride the bike, my gear shifter was hitting the filter extension where the socket goes on. I had to grind it down about 1/8 “ so I could shift without interference. Has anybody else run into this problem?

Can you suggest The best most economical oil and oil filter to use?

I am concerned with not using the correct 5W-40 full synthetic. Can anyone with experience tell me what brand I can use besides the very expensive BMW brand?

I see you using Lucas oil how long have you been using it?

TXS !!. Do you reset the service light yourself, or just ride with it on ? Another BMW BS $$ trap.

Bullshit you run the engine till the fan comes on then let it sit for a couple of minutes that's BMW procedures
