please tell me you didnt pay $13 a quart for the Amsoil
@c10 I'm glad I read this! Did my first oil change today at 463mi. and 3.5 didn't even register. it took almost 4qts. even with a 12oz. additive.So this is my 2nd oil change since new . ( 3 total performed on gen II the 3rd was my brothers bike )
I did the first @ 300 miles , and this one @ 3000 miles . Someone told me the Busa could have bearing damage if run just slightly low from factory spec easily if ridden aggressive . So the 300 mile change I put in 3.75 qt , and called it a day . Now with the new lift I decided to view better in the sight glass oil amount to oil window level . Accounting for rear stand I raised the front according to match normal level conditions
sitting on its own tires . Well a little more than 3.5 say 3.6 qt just gets you in the bottom of the window right @ the Low line . While a full on 4 quarts gets you exactly @ the FULL line . I'm not impressed with how
my factory manual say 3.2 no filter , and . 3.5 with filter change .
FYI I am trying the hype Amsoil due to a dealer friend sold it to me @ half price = what I would spend on my normal oil choice . I will say the myth it shifts better ( read on this forum , and many others )
is Bull Crap ! To each their own
@Berlin Germany In times past I would just put in about 4qts. and not worry about accuracy, but I'm being more precise on the '19, thanks!@Tenderfoot
1. step
the very best way is to fill up to upper mark
let the motor run for ~ 5 seconds
2. step
wait some 5 minutes and control then the oil stand in the gauge
3. step
a bit to low? refill slowly to upper and all is at its best.
my experiance is that sometimes they want a bit more than the manual say.
no clue why, but thats reality.
these 3 steps i allways follow for every motor.
Not with the filter it isn't It almost take 4.5 liters to the full mark. Remember most people on here are talking quarts. 1 quart is .94 of a liter. It's very simple. pour your oil into the bike. After your 3 liter or quart wait 10 or 15 min until you see the oil in the window. If you don't add another half liter and repeat this method until you see the oil in the window. When it's half way up run the bike for a couple of minutes then wait 15 min for the oil to settle. Keep slowly adding oil until the full line. That simple.3.8 liters to full line on mine as well

That about sums it up perfectly.This starting, waiting, then checking the sight glass is all BS. If you drain hot oil properly and remove the filter and let it drain, then screw on the filter and add four quarts of oil, you’ll have the proper amount of oil in it till change time. Has this ever (not) worked for anyone? Many many oil changes throughout 70,000 miles has proven this to be the correct way to change the oil in my Hayabusa.
