- 07-08-21 Time to change the oil and filter on my 2007 Honda VTX 1300r. I am not a professional motorcycle mechanic so use this video at your own risk. I usually run my oil and filter about 3000 miles before I change them. Remember, oil is cheap, engines are expensive. Doing my own work is relaxing and rewarding for me, so when I have a rainy day it is a perfect day for maintenance. Do something nice for someone today.
Good video. Very nice camera angles under the bike. I find pre-lubing the filter gasket with fresh oil will prevent the filter from cooking onto the block. Just sayin.
I will say the oil filter is kind of in a tight place on the vtx by that coolant overflow tank makes it hard to tighten and loosen, I got the k&n oil filter makes it a easier process although at least for me I can't fit a socket wrench but I can use a regular wrench just fine, I use full synthetic valvoline or mobile 1 👍
For my vtx i use motul 10w40 semi/synth.
Never probl. Ilt's very .... very good bike.
Honda makes a pretty good motor.
My daddy taught me if you have an oil filter that crushed then just drive a larger screw driver though it then use it to loosen it.
Thank you very helpful. God bless.
Your welcome, and may God bless you too.
Nice video. I must admit to not changing the drain plug washers regularly. It's a wonder that the filter didn't leak being put on so tight, crushing the rubber washer.
Nice video, quick question. Where do you disposal the old oil left in the pan??
In my area you can take used oil to an automotive repair shop. Most places will take small quantities for free or a small fee. By looking on the internet, you should be able to find places locally that will recycle it.
The book says 22ft lbs but that seems little high for me so I do mine at 16
What did you torque the drain plugs to?
I have never ever in all the hundreds and hundreds of filters that I have changed ever. Did I not put a glaze of oil on the rubber gasket so it doesn't bind up when you're putting it on?
A lot of new filters come pre-lubed now.
Gracias. Lo hice!
👍
Back in the day, we would replace oil filters with every other oil change. What do you think about doing that with a motorcycle?
I myself, change the oil filter with every oil change. I tend to over maintain my cars and motorcycles. I go by the saying oil is cheap, motors are expensive. I go 3000 miles between oil, and oil filter changes on my bike. It costs a little more, but I have never had a motor failure in 50 years of riding. It also is a perfect opportunity to look the bike over mechanically a little closer. I use a K&N oil filter and it is about the price of a meal at a fast-food restaurant. I do my own oil changes and it runs about $50.00 for oil and a filter.
@@OnTheEdgeNow Great, thanks for a great explanation.
Has anyone ever attempted to vent rear cylinder @top of valve cover on vtx
