Model: Ducati 1260s
Part: Engine oil

Start the motorcycle for a few minutes to warm up the engine and the oil. This will make the lubricant less viscous and facilitate its drainage. Unscrew the lower bolt that serves as the plug for the engine oil drain hole and collect the used lubricant in a container (dispose of it properly). While the oil drains, unscrew the upper plug to prevent a vacuum and further aid the drainage. Unscrew the oil filter and remove it; if it is very dirty, replace it with a new one, otherwise clean it. Close the drain hole and add new oil through the upper hole.
