Very helpful video, thanks. for those in metric countries, the Owner's manual says 2.6 litres without filter replacement, 2.8 Litres with filter replacement, 3.2 litres for a completely dry engine. Oil chosen depends on the temperature range where you will be using it. 20w50 is good for 5-50 degrees C. 10W40 will do -10 to 45 degrees C. Since the engine oil also lube's the clutch, do not use oils with a diesel spec of "CD" or labelled "Energy Conserving II"

Let me start by saying... I'm a drummer. Yes, I know. But your video was spot on. I did buy the tools, and did not use synthetic oil. But, for me it was smooth sailing. I have a 2000 650 with only 7000 miles on it. I bought it used with 5000 miles in 2003. So I obviously do not ride much. I even put my own tires on it this week with another video on yt. You saved me some money. And my bride who I call, yes dear, is very happy. Shine on...

Thanks for the video...I've changed the oil in my VStar 650 once and wanted a refresher before I do it again. Figured I would comment because you mentioned synthetic and a Jetta. We have the 650, Synthetic and Jetta in common. My Jetta is an 06 with the 2.5 liter engine. Nothing but synthetic since it was brand new, and with 190,000 miles on it, it still runs like a DREAM. Excellent highway car.

i totally agree. my bike calls for 2.96 quarts which is 94.7 ounces, since there is 96 ounces to 3 quarts the difference is 1.3 ounces, even less for you. there is no way that could be harmful especially considering the residual oil left over in the containers. love the foil idea, i suggest placing it there before running the engine, i burnt myself, haha.

Wasn't bad on my Vstar650. They have to get a short 17, or have a lift, or they can lay the bike down on a set of tires in order to break the plug loose. Someone torqued mine tight so I had a fun time getting it loose.

I have a couple of mods on my bike that made the oil change a little more difficult than the one in the video. First, I have the J-slam which lowers the bike about 4" at the rear fender. Because of this, I couldn't get leverage to remove the drain plug or get my pan (which is like the one in the video) under the bike. I had to lift the rear a bit with a jack to get under there.

Are you using an o-ring or metal compression ring on your drain plug? Didn't see either in your list of items needed at the beginning but wanted to double check.
