I had the oil filter cover gasket split . They are quite delicate. I was out touring in Ireland and my buddy noticed that my rear tyre was getting coated with oil. Top marks for observation ! So, we bought some hylomar blue liquid gasket and then thoroughly cleaned the mating surface and applied the blue. It worked perfectly. It stayed until the next time I changed the filter. The machining is so good on the mating surfaces that the paper gasket is in effect a weak link. I still use a paper gasket but I know deep down that a liquid gasket is better here. My Laverda Jota crankcase use a liquid gasket between the crankcase halves and no paper gasket at all.

Thanks for the funnel colour tip, I was not previously aware of that.

thanks used this for a reference on my new to me R100/7

How much oil does it go in? (In ml)

Where did you get filter/gasket kit?

Do you have a link for where you can purchase the oil filter kit?

Great video but looking for some assistance. 1978 R80/7, removed oil filter and it is single instead of hinge dual filter. Max BMW parts catalog recommended hinge. Your video made it seem they are not interchangeable? What are your thoughts? Going to wash off filter shortly and order based on parts stamp, if it is legible.

Just done this to mine which has sorted it, thanks. 👍

Just purchased a 1977 R100/7 and, thanks to your video, I now feel confident enough to get this job done. Thanks a lot! Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.

Just got an '80 R100. Not familiar with BMW at all so this is a great start to dive-in on the Boxer engine. thanks

I have just put my shim on the other side of the O-ring. ie. against the cover. The bike did not have a shim on al all when I got it. Also I am told to leave the gasket off, as this compressed the O-ring more. Tony -

Does the filter have an inside and outside direction or is it exactly the same on both ends? Thanks

Thanks , I have the same bike , same color, now I need the color matching funnel 😀. Ride Safe.

Great video, very well done! Thanks!

Well done

Thank you for a great video... 👍 some people are just good at taking stuff apart and fixing it... retired old man in Arizona. Dave

Your video is great and gave me the confidence to do the oil change on my 1978 BMW r100/7. Your cautions on the O-ring are very valuable and much appreciated. Thank you very much!!!

Thanks so much! Can't wait to try. (I've gotta ask, though--what, in 2018, did you record this with to have UA-cam's video quality max out at 240p? Haha. I wouldn't expect any devices still alive then to have a setting that low! lol)

Thanks for your video, followed the steps with some adjustment as I’ve got a UK 2007 versys. I put up with the problem for years but now it’s fixed. Again, thanks 😊

Great video. Saw your latest video ‘packed up’. Please keep doing more videos! Really enjoyed them!

Was afraid to do it by myself but your video give me confidence to go ahead. As soon as the pieces arrive I will get to work. Thank you very much!

Jaso ma2 is not needed

Excellent! Well said and well done... I'll make sure I've got the right kit for my R100GS Bumblebee and take it from there. Love these expert sanity checks. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. You're working on an R80/7. I have a 1976 R/90. Does it also need the O ring?

Nice, straight to the point, and super useful. Thanks for the video.

Question. I have an earlier series 1975 R60/6. Don't believe the white o-ring is applicable to my oil change process. Do you have any knowledge on that?

First time air head owner. Thank you for the video!!!

Very useful video thank you

Very nice video!

What do you recommend I have a 78 R80/7 first time doing the oil change on it.. never worked on motorcycles but plenty of cars lol this video was on point!!

Love this walk-through! I've watched it three times so far. One question I have is do you recommend putting a bit of oil on the "$2000 O-ring" before installation, to create better seal? Or is this not a good idea? Cheers!!

I like it when people get straight down to business and present well without the need of distracting crap music. Tip about O-Ring and torque values also welcome. Well done and greetings from Ireland!

nice tattoo

Great Video! Very few likes however. I wish I could give you a hundred ones!! Thanks a lot!

Hi Matt. See you got the R90x big brakes kit as well! Could you show off your bike in your next vid? I am making the same conversion on my 100/7 next month. Cheers

Great video im purchasing one of these bikes a 1979 model so that's the correct oil 20 /50 and how many quarts is it in litres

Great vid chees

It might be helpful to some. I just found out with a filter change you would need 2.25 quarts of oil. But going by your recommendation of stoping at 1.9 and checking it and running it works to add more and airs on the side of caution.

I had the same problem all I did was pulled the rubber buttons out with a pair of pliers, sprayed a small shot of WD40 in the hole and replaced the rubber button this fixed the problem and no need to remove the cluster.
