This video is currently unavailable

To replace the engine oil on a Moto Guzzi V85TT, start by positioning the bike on a stable and level surface, preferably using a centre stand to maintain balance. It is advisable to slightly warm the engine before the operation, so the oil is more fluid and easier to drain, but ensure it is not too hot to avoid burns.

Locate the oil drain plug under the engine, place a container beneath it, and unscrew the plug using an appropriate spanner. Allow all the oil to flow into the container, ensuring the system empties completely.

Once the oil has stopped draining, clean the drain plug and its gasket to remove any residue. Screw the plug back in place, ensuring it is tight but not over-tightened to avoid damaging the thread.

Next, locate the oil filler cap on the side of the engine. Remove it and gradually pour in the new oil, being careful not to exceed the maximum level indicated on the dipstick or the inspection window.

After reaching the correct level, securely replace the filler cap, start the engine for a few minutes, and check for leaks.
