Checking engine oil level (fig. 57)
Engine oil level can be checked through the sight glass (1)
provided on the clutch cover.
When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be upright
and the engine warm.
Allow a few minutes for oil to settle to a steady level after
stopping the engine. Oil level should be between the
marks on the sight glass.
If low, top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4.
Undo the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level. Refit the
plug.
Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati
dealer or authorised workshop at regular intervals, as
specified in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty
Card).
