      @@DontNickMe I doubt this part at Manufacturer's volume would be that much more expensive than a drain plug and washer, and they could advertise 'easy DIY services' to make extra sales. Nope, that's not it. They looked at the risk versus reward and decided that this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Operating a drain plug and washer every 3-5 thousand miles is not hard or time consuming enough to warrant ANY extra risk. Billions (trillions?) of engines have worked just fine with a trusty old drain plug and washer. No thanks.

    The first time I changed my oil on my Nighthawk 250 I overtightened the oil bolt so hard that it cracked the crankcase. On the plus side, I got to learn how to rebuild an entire engine, which in the long run was an experience I look back on fondly, but you can imagine how I felt at the time.
    Even if you do use a torque wrench- make sure you know how it works, make sure you know what it tightens to, and make sure you know whether that value is foot*lbs or N*m!!

    5:55 Thats the best advice that almsot nobody else talks about! Most people just measure oil by manual and ending up overfilling their engines not knowing that engine holds some old oil even if you drain it completly. I usualy add new oil so it overfills sight glass little bit and after warming up new oil and letting it cool down its always reads way below middle so i add a bit oil and it sits above middle and below max level.

    May i add something to this great instructional. If you work on your bike especially when you are not using it as a daily, you might want to put some tape over ignition and killswitch. This way you will know that you are not to turn the bike on until you are done. Say that something goes wrong, you get the wrong oil, wrong filter, whatever, and you leave the bike with no oil just sitting there. It's a good idea to have tape on the main starting components to avoid turning it on when dry. Very useful on track bikes. Same goes for major repairs where you leave the job for another day.

    What i like to do when draining the oil is put new oil through where you fill and it helps drain more old oil out with the residue and wait till you see the new oil drain out then you know you got most of the old stuff out. Not necessary at all just something my old man thought me.

      Just change your oil more often with that very same oil you're wasting. It's better for your bike and the Earth. You can't get all the old oil out of the engine, around 15 - 30% of it remains in the heads and other areas of the engine after you drain the oil pan. Your old man taught you wrong and your trick is an illusion.

    Oil change was my first diy. It's so easy and so satisfying. Once a professional messed up and put wrong oil and it felt so sluggish that I ended up doing myself. What a waste of money and time. In India, they charge $3 for a change plus oil and filters for a mass market bike and about $20-50 for a big, low volume, performance bike.
    I'm yet to try it out on my car.

    A couple things, it's a really good idea to have a printout of all the torque values for fasteners on the bike.
    When adding oil, it's a really god idea to measure it out rather than going by the sight glass or dipstick, it will greatly reduce the likelihood of putting the wrong amount in.
