How to Replace the Engine Oil and Filter on the Ducati 999

Model: Ducati 999
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

This guide shows how to replace the engine oil on the Ducati 999. If you have race stands, you can use those as well. Start the bike to warm up the oil and remove the right fairing by detaching the clips and securing bolts.

Position a container under the oil sump for fluid disposal and unscrew the drain bolt; also unscrew the oil filler cap. Unscrew the four screws of the mesh filter and empty it; take care with the gasket of the cap. Detach the mesh filter from its housing, being careful not to break it; clean it well before refitting.

Unscrew the oil filter and let the fluid drain.

Refit the filters in position after lubricating the gaskets and top up the tank. Run the engine for a few minutes and then check the oil level.
