How to Change the Engine Oil on a Triumph T120?

Model: Triumph T120
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the engine oil on a Triumph T120, ensure the motorcycle is positioned on a stable and level surface. It is helpful to warm up the engine for a few minutes, so the old oil becomes more fluid and drains better.

Turn off the engine and locate the oil drain plug, situated under the engine block. Position a suitable container to collect the used oil, then carefully unscrew the plug, allowing the oil to drain completely from the engine.

Once finished, clean the plug and the drain point to remove any residue. Refit the drain plug securely and proceed to fill the engine with new oil of the specification recommended by Triumph.

Check the level with the dipstick or indicator, ensuring it is within the indicated range. Start the engine for a few seconds, then turn it off and recheck the level, adjusting if necessary.
