Awesome tutorial

Never do a cold oil change. Ensure the engine is warm and heat is tolerable. This will ensure maximum oil is drained.

Yup, filter is 11Nm NOT 25Nm

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. What 16mm extended socket are you using for the spark plugs? I have tried a standard one, as well as a thin walled one. Both cant get the spark plug as the hole gets too thin.

Hi! Great video! I am flying down to Cpt this weekend to pick up a 2006 R1200GSA and would like to change the oil before I fly back up. Where do you think one can get a tool to remove the oil filler plug in Cpt? And do you think Midas or Autozone will have that oil filter wrench? Thanks!

😎 the tool is 76mm, with 12 flutes. I believe I got it at Midas. Any spares shop could have it. I had to search a bit to find the one that works, so 76mm and 12 flutes. BMW will sell you one too $$$, and a few bike shop will have them. Good luck

@@taicoproductions Thanks! I managed to get one at TracMac and changed the oil at a friend's house. Tomorrow starts the 2000km trek back home.

I like your video, reading my manual book says 0.5 L oil to replace, however I saw you had a 4L dunk, how much oil did you replace on your filter and oil change as it looks so little 0.5 on the book 📚

Hi, i used between 3.5 litres and 4.0 litres of oil including the oil filter. I first filled the oil filer (+-300ml) and then put in about 3 litres. Then i ran the bike and rode it and then topped up the rest. I would say between 3.5l-4.0l of oil including spillage ;-)

O.5l is the difference between minimum and maximum in the sight glass, a full oil and filter change should be a round 4l

❤️👍

Is that oil filter wrench the same that is needed for a 2007?

Why are you pouring oil into the filter?))

For start up purposes. So you’re not starting the bike “dry”, because you’ve drained all the oil out of the sump. A little oil in the filter gets lubrication going.

@@taicoproductions it is stupid)) what to do if the filter is on the side?) first - the engine is still lubricated with old oil second - the fact is that the filter has a bypass valve third - it is easier for air to pass through a dry filter
