Model: Ducati Monster 973
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the engine oil of a Ducati Monster, start by warming up the engine for a few minutes to thin the oil, then turn it off and place the bike on a stable stand. Under the engine, locate the oil drain plug and position a collection tray underneath it. Use a spanner to unscrew the drain plug and let the oil fully drain into the tray.

Once all the oil has been drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely. Locate the oil filler cap on top of the engine and remove it. Use a funnel to slowly pour in the recommended amount of new oil as stated in the owner's manual.

After filling, replace the filler cap and start the engine for a few minutes to circulate the new oil. Turn off the engine and check for any oil leaks from the drain plug.
