In this video, I show you how to change your oil and filter on a Honda Shadow.
Procedure:
Take the bike for a 10 minute ride to warm up the engine oil.
Place the bike on a lift or side stand.
Remove the drain plug with a 17mm box wrench or socket.
Let the oil drain for 5-10 minutes.
If needed, install new crush washer and reinstall drain plug. Torque to service manual specification.
Loosen oil filter with wrench 1-2 turns. Let some of the oil drain before removing the filter completely.
Make sure the gasket is on the oil filter.
Wipe the filter sealing surface clean with a rag
Prelube filter by pouring some oil into the filter.
Take a few drops of oil and smear it on the new filter gasket
Install new filter and torque to specification outlined in service manual.
Pour in new oil.
Start engine for 30 sec.
Check oil 5 min after shutting engine off. Add oil if necessary. Most Hondas do not require to screw dipstick in.
Check for leaks.
Make note of date and mileage and write it in your maintenance log.
Go ride! - Навчання та стиль
Matthew, I am 53 years old .I have had Harley’s, Honda’s, Yamahas. And Honda is by far my Favorite because of how simple they are and The engines are bulletproof. But your video is by far the most simple, self explanatory videos out here. And you know there are many. I put your videos in the Top 5. Thank you so very much and keep up the great work.
Thanks for the compliments!
Hey brother..looking at shadow 750 and vstar 1100..would you still pick shadow over vstar? And why..thx
7 years later and this is still helping people man! subscribed my brother, ride safe guys
Thanks for making this! Recently got myself a VT750 ACE and was actually wondering how to change out the filter on it! And heating up the oil a bit is something i didn't even consider, great tip!
How is this 8 years old, that is such a good video. I really like your calm ways to explain something. Really good work.
A beautiful video!
Thank You so much for teaching us. You really are a great American. God bless you!
Just bought my 1st bike.... 2000 Honda Shadow VT750DC, 24k miles..... it's been in for the 24k mile service, but this video was helpful and the oil change def is easy.
This is a great video. Cheers. I'm after getting my 1st ever bike and its a Shadow VT750 ACE. This video will come in very helpful in the next day or 2 when i change the oil and filter.
Man, that's a quiet running bike. Thanks Matt. Always great vids.
Explains the name Shadow
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Very helpful!
I just did my lady friends oil change on a 2006, Honda Shadow 750. It's a trike though but same motor. I had to jack up the rear so I could get a bit of room for pan and my hands. The front was not jacked up and upon taking off the bolt the pan could only fit just up to the bolt. It shot oil outta the pan and made a mess. But live and learn right? No mistake ONLY lessons. I really appreciate your work and time to help.
Thank you so much for the video!
Thanks for the video! Just got done changing the oil on my 98 Shadow. Video helped a lot
Your welcome Dan!
Solid post - using it to help me change my oil today.
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you.
Helpful vid, thank you!
Very usefull matthew very good ! thank you
Thanks a mill man! Great vid.
Been finding a lot of problems with my used 2003 Shadow ACE. Please consider a short video on installing a battery box and how the cables and wires are supposed to be placed. I can already see that the battery cables were incorrectly installed as well as the carbs and the choke cable, so I'll be going through all of that. Thank you for the great tutorials.
thanks for showing this it was helpful
Awesome vid... quick, easy, & Straight to the point 👉 you're definitely the Man 🦾🦾
Ty 👍 , NEW SUBSCRIBER ,very helpful, I'm doing my first oil change on this bike ( 2004 aero ) sound and looks the same as the 02. I'm going to scan through your vids for more info on this bike. Thanks again 👍👍
How’d it go? I have a 04 aero that I just bought and the local Honda shop quoted $150 +1 week for an oil change so I figure I will do it myself.
awesome video , I'm a new Honda shadow vt750dc owner and I love it , great motorcycle
Glad it helped!
I just purchased mine yesterday! Thank you on the dipstick tip!
Could you please make a video on how to replace the ENTIRE clutch perch for a 99 Honda Shadow 750. Im up to my ears in lever replacement videos.
This is really helpful! Any videos on how to change the coolant? Can’t seem to find any.
Muchas Gracias Hermano!
Great vid, straight to the point thanks.
Your welcome, Barry.
Great video...thank you 🙂👍
Very helpful video still in 2022!!!
Great video.
I give it 9 out of 10.
Much better than other videos on youtube.
Only 9/10???? Why not a 10.....LOL?
Needs better camera angels on the lower end of the bike. Which I understand is near impossible, but I reserve that 10 for the impossible. lol
Yup, agree.
MatthewMCRepair how do I know what bolt is the drain plug?
You'd get a 10/10 if you were a thick chick in a bikini! 🤣
Great video. My spirit shadow is lowered and I don’t have a stand. I found it hard to remove the drain plug. I have it put away is there any chance the plus is not 17 mm? My dealer sold me a 14 mm plug after looking up the part.
very good and helpful
I just got a vt 750 honda shadow arrow for Xmas 2005 has a lot of up grades mustang seat fiber glass racks on back.. But the guy never showed us how to do the oil .water and what ever else there is an may I say your video is excellent thanks
Thanks for good video
Thank you !
Any videos on how to change the coolant? This video is awesome but I can’t seem to find one on a coolant flush. Any advice would help thanks!
Hello Matthew! What would you recommend to check/replace after buying 2007 750cc? 19000 km milage.
I don't like how it starts cold in summer, and turning lights are always on.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Well done! I have a 2003, 5200 miles….
thank you very much, this video help me a lot.
No problem.
Why install the new filter without draining sump bolt first? Also you never never never ever re use those washers, they're crush washers and they are 1 time use, once they are tightened they are crushed and that's how they seal, you'll notice one side on the washers is smooth and the other is hard and sharp, the soft side goes on the engine side to it crushes and seals.
This is the comment I was searching for...
good video. :)
Guess I'm a little redundant here but thanks for the vid!! Cheers! Time to go for a ride.
Hey!!! Idk if your able to help or have a video about it. But coolant flush?? I like your videos . But can't seem to find it. HD 750 ACE 03. Thanks-Tiffany

Would this work for a 2022 Honda shadow aero? It looks freaking identical but just wanna be sure
Hi Matt. Really like your videos, but wish you'd revisit the 2003 era Honda Shadows. There is so much about these bikes left to do. Cheers
I purchased one about 2 months ago, I just got it back from the paint shop, I've just about replaced almost all parts and ready to finally ride it
What's the abbreviation of the filter you used? Thanks!
Thanks for the DETAILED video. I will be attempting my first oil change soon. My only concern how to work under it with not enough room??
You'll have to lay on the ground, should be enough room.
Ty for making it easy! Well seems that way, just started riding last year, upgraded to this bike and trying to learn to do my own mechanical crap so I don't have to depend in hubby or a shop! 😂🤣😂🤣
Your welcome!
Tks. 😊
Any how to change the belt on a 2003 Honda Shadow 750 Ace Deluxe out there?
I plan to buy a shadow slasher 750. I don't know how to check the production year, can you help me? thank you
thank you!
Your welcome!
do you need to do something else to remove oil light from speedometer
I just changed my oil because the petcock was leaking when in the off position. Seems some gas got into the oil thru the carbs, anyway the oil smells like gas . However the amount of oil 83 ozs was the same amount as usual. I guess it doesn't take much gas to dilute the oil.
Is this the same procedure for a Shadow 2014?
I change the drain plug washer every time. They're cheap. I get it for 50 cents. They stick on the oil pan MOST of the time because they're aluminum and when they get tightened too tight, they will press into the drain hole. You will see a ridge around the hole in the washer confirming this.
Where do you get them?
My friend I bought my first one where I can buy all those?
Thank you for the video. Just changed the oil on my 02 Shadow which I bought today! You said you listed an owners manual download but I don’t see the link.Id be very interested in getting this. Can you tell me how to acquire this? I’d be very grateful
I would like a good manual for the 2009 spirit shadow model. What should I look for and where?
thx for the video ...
+Catalin amariei Your welcome.
....by The way I have a 98 Honda shadow Ace 750 and I wouldn't trade it for the world 🙏very reliable bike👍
Thank you for your very informative video you did an excellent job and made this very easy for me. I recently purchased an '05 750 and it's my very first motorcycle so I know I have a lot to learn. I was just curious if you happen to know, my bike seems to be misfiring occasionally and when it does as soon as it pops a few times the bike rides so much better and faster I was just curious on what I should consider doing to fix this problem and whether it's a serious problem or an easy fix. Whether you know or not I just wanted to say thank you for the video and I greatly appreciate it.
Check spark plugs and ensure high octane fuel. If not maybe timing issue
Great video! My bike has been sitting for 1-2 years, should I still start it up to warm the oil, or just change BEFORE I start it? thanks!
I'd start it up then change it. Bigger problem is that your carbs are probably dirty. I have a carb clean video on this bike as well.
Anyone have an idea where I can get a tube for my rear wheel 160/80 r15?
Hey bro... ✌🏻😎
Question about a 2002 shadow Ace engine oil looks like transmission fluid? Runs and shifts smooth. Has 40,000 miles, was thinking maybe high mileage oil. Seller didn't seem to know why.
Oil does come in different colors. Probably have to pay extra for that also LOL.
i think mine is driven by drive shaft or maybe its just a cover idk just fixing it up for a project
the oil pump chain is loose on my dads 07 Honda shadow spirit....do you have a video on how to adjust that or where the tensioner is (if there is one)? we have been looking all day for videos on how to fix it but only find videos of men just showing that its loose...
I've worked on other models with loose oil pump chains. There is no adjustment on some models and really doesn't matter since it is not timing anything. You'd have to double check on your model.
can i use 10w-30 advanced full synthetic oil (castrol edge high mileage) my bike only has 30,000 miles on it. will it make much difference?
I never use synthetic unless it calls for it. Make sure to use oil rated for motorcycles. Use this oil: amzn.to/2Jh3klk
I have honda vt400 model 2002 if you have the service manual ?????? I need it please
Can I check the oil level while the bike is on the kickstand and get an accurate reading or does it have to be upright?
Upright only.
Do you have any information on adjusting the idle on the Shadow 750? I know where the knob is to adjust it but it is a beast to get my fingers in there!
I find that the knob is pretty easy to access and turn. Should be on the left side, correct?

I can just barely get to it, was wondering if there is a way to remove that chrome plate that is attached to the choke. haven't quite figured it out yet.
Email me here with pics:www.howtomotorcyclerepair.com/contact/
Been too long since I worked on this model.
What size is the washer?
How can I get the manual for 2002honda shadow
I Have the same bike I need to know how to change the sparks plugs I’ll appreciate please and thank you
If you haven't found the answer yet, honda has specific thin wall sockets for the spark plugs.
Would you know wears the master cylinder for rear break trying to bleed it can’t find it
Follow the rear brake lever...it will lead right to the master.
Service manual is not on the website: "Coming Soon"
"Hand tight" is the universal torque spec for spin-on oil filters. :-)
I’m trying to figure where I can find one of those stands to change my fluids! I had my shadow in the garage over winter I put fuel treatment in but I still can’t start it. Anyone know any tricks? I’m new to motorcycles 🙏
Harbor freight has motorcycle lifts reasonably priced you should check it out and I hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck and safe riding to everyone
Would the oil type be the same for my 04 sabre 1100?
Probably. Double check with service manual.
hi... can you show me how do I change fuel filter...
+Miguel Angel Castillero Arauz I don't have a video on that sorry.
Hi guys, what is the recommended oil for honda 2003 shadow vt750
Is it 10w-30 or 10-w40
Either is fine .
No service manual yet?
How often you do oil change on motorcycle? I have a 2012 Honda shadow phantom and I'm at 1,500 mile without oil change.
Why not download the owners manual? It should have the maintenance chart. I believe the first oil change is around 600mi, after break in.
the oil light is red on my bike it wont turn on. i think it may be out of oil . is it ok if i do it cold ?
Please clarify: your oil light is on when bike is RUNNING or NOT RUNNING. It's supposed to be ON when NOT RUNNING.
Was that synthetic and what are the intervals?
Can't remember. Intervals should be in service manual, can't remember that either.
I just purchased a 2007 Shadow VT750.Been sitting for 7 years.What is the best way to see if the engine turns over?Should I put anything in the cyclinders to let soak?It has 8K miles
Pull the plugs and put in some oil. You are going to have to clean out the fuel tank and the carbs for sure: howtomotorcyclerepair.com/hondashadowcarbclean/
@@HTMR How much oil should I put in each cyclinder?A couple of Tbsp. maybe?
How many miles can make a oil change?
Why did you put the new filter on before draining the old oil?
I like to R&R the filter first. It doesn't matter the order you do it in.
another Shadow with a chain... when did they start using drive shafts?
I have very noisy tappets on my 750 shadow What oil should I use?
Try 20w50
How often do you change air filter? and where is is located?
Make a habit with every oil change or twice before...
I’m having an issue because even after doing everything it’s leaking now from carburetor
I have both the service manual and the owners manual but man i cant find what size oil filter to use I have to trust amazon or Walmart to tell me if it fits I'd rather read it in my manual
Links are in vid description.
I just bought my first bike 2000 Honda shadow 750 . how many kilometres should I need to put after every oil change?
I do mine every spring
10 w 30 for the shadows are I'm I trippen
