Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the engine oil on a BMW R1200T, follow these steps. Ensure the bike is on a level surface and the engine is warm but not too hot. Remove the oil filler cap and the oil drain plug, usually located on the underside of the engine.

Position a collection container under the drain plug and unscrew it to fully drain the used oil. Once drained, remove and replace the oil filter, ensuring to clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Install the new filter and screw the oil drain plug back in. Fill the engine with new oil through the filler cap until reaching the recommended amount, checking the level with the dipstick if necessary.

Secure both caps tightly. Start the engine for a few minutes to circulate the new oil, then turn it off, and the replacement is complete.
