Check engine oil level
Engine oil level can be checked through the sight
glass (1) located on the side of the engine block.
Oil level should be between the marks on the sight
glass. If the level is low, top up with engine oil.
Remove the oil filler cap (2) located on the right side
of the vehicle and top up until the oil reaches the
required level. Refit the filler plug (2).
Ducati prescribes the only use of SAE 15W-50/JASO
MA2 oil and recommends the use of Shell Advance
4T Ultra 15W-50 oil (JASO: MA2 and API: SN).
UK VERSION: Ducati recommends you use
Shell Advance DUCATI 15W-50 Fully Synthetic Oil.
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a
Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance
in the Warranty Card.
To check the oil level correctly, carefully follow the
instructions below.
1) The level check must be carried out with engine
for at least 2 hours, to allow time for the oil flowed in
the cylinder heads to reach the sump.
