Don't they come like that from the factory?

The service manual states the filter removal tool is no. 067503210

The top up oil amount is 3.5 for crank and 0.77 for filter. anybody any ideas how to get this amount out other than picking the bike up and shaking it all out?

Lil,

Don't for get to add the replacement ally crush washers. You'll need the one for the drain plug and the one for the filter screen. Pennies, but worth it.

Also, I have to agree with whoever said use the proper oil filter cup wrench. You can order them from Fiat or Ducati. Fiat are cheaper but mine has never arrived.

The reason I say this was experience with the last oil change. The goriila had clearly tightened the filter with an air gun. No chance with the strap or screwdriver methods. Screwdriver destroyed the filter leaveing me with a steel plate (the filter face) attached to the engine. It was an absolute B*****D to remove.

Rgds,

Rob

I think Desmos point is how do you get all 4 litres out when emptying the oil? I know when I do my changes I certainly don't get out what I put in!

Is there any way?
