The only parts you will need for Ducati monster oil change is an OEM Ducati oil filter and 15W50 oil. The Spin-On Ducati OEM oil filter is part number 44440038A.
When you remove the oil plug there is a copper crush washer that you can also replace.
Unlike most engines that you can use a socket on, the Ducati Monster oil drain bolt, and oil screen cover uses hex bolts. The oil drain bolt takes a 5mm hex bit and the oil screen cover takes a 14mm hex bit. You can get a hex bit set if you don’t have these 2 bits, or get them individually.
Besides the hex bolts, the other tools that you might need would be a torque wrench and oil filter cap wrench for Ducati oil filters.
Set a drain pan underneath the bike. The Ducati Monster 696 holds less than 4 liters of oil, so the drain pan doesn’t need to be that big.
Loosen oil fill cap. This will let air into the motor and let the oil drain easier.
Use the 5mm hex bit and loosen the oil drain bolt. There are 2 drain bolts on the bottom of the motor, the one in the center of the cases is the drain for the motor.
The oil drain plug has a magnet that will collect small bits of metal on it.
Clean the oil drain plug magnet with a paper towel and replace the washer if you have a new one. I’ve reused old washers with no problems, but a new washer is only a couple bucks if you can get it.
Install the oil drain bolt and torque it down to 20 nm with a torque wrench. If you don’t have a torque wrench you can tighten it hand tight plus a quarter turn. You don’t need to crank down on the oil drain bolt but tight enough where it will come loose.
Under the oil screen cover, there is another drain plug. You don’t need to take this out, it only drains the little amount of oil that is held in the oil screen.
Using the 14 mm hex bit on screw the oil screen cap and washer. Make sure you don’t drop the copper washer into the oil pan.
With the oil screen cap removed, you can also use the bit to extract the oil screen from the block. The oil screen might have a couple of flakes of metal on it. You can clean it with some brake cleaner or just a paper towel. Reinstall the oil screen finger tight. Install the oil screen cap to hand tight plus a quarter turn.
The oil filter replacement you can use the oil filter cap wrench for Ducati if you have it. The oil filter is easily accessible and you can pretty much twist it off with both hands if it is not torqued down too hard for the previous installment.
Reinstall the new oil filter and torque it down to 11nm. On the oil filter, the torque spec is MUCH lower than the seat-of-the-pants approach. Most people tend to over-torque their oil filter than under-torque it. Over-torquing the oil filter will distort the o-ring and can lead to it sealing problems. This will show up with a slow drip-drip of oil coming out on your garage floor.
Unscrew the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. The manual calls for between 3.5 and 4.0 L of oil. Fill the bike 3.5 L initially and check the oil site.
Fill the bike until the oil is at the top of the oil site markers. Run the bike for 30 to 60 seconds and shut it off give it another 30 seconds for the oil to settle. With the bike held up, check to see that the oil level is right in the middle of the two oil site marks and you’re done!

Love you're energy! Thanks for the tips, keep them comming 😁
Out of the plethora of car YT channels out there, you always come across a genuine and passionate about the subject matter.
Short and to the point, just enough time to enjoy a Ducati.
Dinesh, you gave a lot of really genuine advice here about starting a RUclips channel.
Boy how I love these mid-week uploads!
Would love to see a kind of behind-the-scenes on how you approach filming, setup, editing etc.
Big respect for your enthusiasm about cars and motorcycles!
I think people here would find that incredibly interesting in cars and bikes.
You're a class act, and you truly lift up other creators.
I wouldn't say that I'm that much of a professional when it comes to filming but you seem top notch!
the editing/filming style is on point, loving it!🤔
Would love to see more of this style in the future.
Yes, a “how to” change oil in cars would be great too.
If you made a tutorial kind of video on changing oil I'd definitely follow :)
Nothing says Ducati more than “I strapped a camera to my head.” when chaning oil hehe
That was a great video about to change that oil whew!
From my personal experience, if you can loosen a wheelnut that easily, it's too loose.
The torque on that wheelnut is like 75 Nm lubed/145 Nm dry, which is ALOT. Usually loosening that nut requires a breaker bar which is like around 80 cm long.
Thanks Viktor 👍
Great video, Dinesh. Now I know!
Hello, what can I do with a broken ducati monster 696 candle cap, how can I replace the original cap?
Did you mean handle cap? Sorry, not sure if there is a candle cap
@@CranksndPistons I just broke the cap that is installed on the spark plug and gives a spark, I wanted to clarify if they can be replaced with similar ones, maybe you know?)
@@Мишик_Сысоев Yes. That’s a simple fix. The cap can be bought but you might have to go through the wiring a bit just to make sure the spark is right.
@@CranksndPistons I have NGK LB05E caps, but they have a resistor like on a 5Q spark plug.They fit, but I'm worried that the caps have a resistor and plugs at the same time, and it might damage the wiring?
@@Мишик_Сысоев there is that possibility. So the best solution would be to dismantle fully so that you know what’s there when it goes back together.
Lol. The chain must be between 46mm and 48mm. Not 11, 9, 10 or rest...
Buy a bigger oil pan bro
