(1) provided on the clutch cover. level should be between the marks near the sight glass. Top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4, if low.

Which is better 10W40 or 15W50?

Motor oil grade represents the weight of the oil when cold, as well as at operating temperatures. Viscosity or thickness of the oil increases with rise in temperature. A 10W40 oil will be thicker in the cold than 15W40 oil, but they will have the same viscosities at higher temperatures.

How many quarts of oil does a Ducati Monster take?

The capacity is 3.3 liters (a smidgeon less than 3.5 quarts), but only way you will get the full 3.3 liters in is to overhaul the engine. Some oil will stay in various parts of the engine as well as the oil cooler.

What’s the torque on a Ducati oil filter?

FYI – Factory torque specification for most recent Ducati models is 11nm on the Oil Filter and 20nm on the oil drain plug. Especially on the oil filter, this is MUCH lower than the seat-of-the-pants approach usually produces, way more people OVER-torque their oil filter than under-torque it.

What kind of oil do you put in a Ducati bike?

Cold thick oil struggles to circulate as the engine is started, but using a thinner oil here would mean that, once heated, the oil would be too thin to adequately protect the engine. The answer is using a multigrade oil. This oil, due to the addition of polymer, has two different viscosity grades.

What can cause damage to a Ducati engine?

Deposits in the engine can gum it up and reduce its performance. Further, unnecessary wear and damage in an engine can be caused by microscopic contaminants. For perspective, a single hair is 100 microns thick. Contaminants as small as 5 to 20 microns could easily cause damage to an engine.
