i recommend not only oiling the oil filter ring, but also pouring some oil inside the filter

Good move! Can't put too much in it though because of it being in a sideways position-the oil you put in will spill out! So just enough to "wet" lube the filter inside! Doug

I also had no idea where I would find the drain bolt as it'll be my first time ever servicing my honda shadow. However with the brain power you mustered up to type and send out your post, that could have been used to put common sense to work or at the very least actual problem solving techniques to help you. For me, it was as simple as finding the ONLY 17 mm bolt on the bike!?#&#$*÷&$

I guess I've been doing it wrong all these years. I always remove the drain bolt AND oil filter at the same time. Then I re-install the drain bolt and oil filter.

Probably shouldn't matter right, its just draining oil, but you definetly want the drain plug and filter on before filling it hahahahahahahahahaha

If you lucky enough to live in an area of the country where you can ride year round, you should use the 30 weight during the cooler months and the 40 weight during the summer months. 40 weight will break down less when riding during the hot summer season.

The manual for the 03 VT750DC has a scale for temperature and depending on where you live or what time of year, you can use a different oil.

narrator says 2.6 quarts of 10-30, but at 1:18 is clearly pouring in 10w-40. I read other places should be 10w40 in cold climate, and 20w50 in hot climate

It can use 10-30 or 10-40. Use 40 for hotter climates.

Can you check the oil level using the dip stick while on the kickstand or does it have to be upright?
@xXWilhelm71Xx

Try to have the bike upright, most of your riding is going to be upright, so try and check the oil in the way the bike is going to be using it

Check it upright. You'll be overfilled if you check it on the kickstand.

Usually the Japanese bikes can take any, depends on how you want the bike to run. I have a 2019 shadow aero 750, and I usually put premium in, yeah it’s more expensive but it’ll be cleaner and last longer than the cheap stuff will, and it’s still 100x less expensive than a full tank of gas for a car

Use 87 octane, it's what Honda recommends. Higher octane is not "cleaner" nor will it "last longer". You will get absolutely no benefit from using the wrong octane, and in some cases, it might actually make your bike run worse. Source: I am a chemical engineer and I also own a 2007 vt750. It's been 6 months, how have you been liking it?

It can take 87 but I put premium in anything carbureted, especially if it doesn't get used all the time.

What I really don't like is when I use a motorcycle jack of my own and I can't get the clearance to not make a spill when the filter starts to come off. It's like I have to use a rag and let it drip on the arm holding the platform.
