How to Change the Engine Oil on a Harley Davidson Sportster

Model: Harley Davidson Sportster
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the engine oil on a Harley Davidson Sportster, follow these steps. Start by positioning the bike on a flat and stable surface, then secure it on the stand for stability.

Remove the oil filler cap located on the oil tank. This will allow air to enter the system and facilitate the draining of the oil. Position a collection container under the oil drain plug, located on the oil sump.

Using an appropriate spanner, unscrew the drain plug and allow the used oil to drain completely into the collection container. Once the draining is complete, refit the drain plug ensuring it is tightly secured.

Next, fill the engine with high-quality new oil recommended for your Harley Davidson Sportster, using the oil filler cap. Once this operation is complete, you will have successfully changed the engine oil on your Harley Davidson Sportster.
