massey130 Posted April 7, 2010 #3 Posted April 7, 2010 I am not sure how much your bike holds. do you have the owner manual?
MiCarl Posted April 7, 2010 #4 Posted April 7, 2010 I buy it in a gallon jug and there is some left over after an oil and filter change. Since a gallon = 4 quarts I put it at 3.X quarts. **EDIT** Just opened the owners manual. It says 4 quarts for oil and filter change. It's wrong, that is too much. You need to buy 4 quarts but you won't put all of the last one in.
Guest seuadr Posted April 7, 2010 #5 Posted April 7, 2010 ya, i just changed mine a couple weeks ago, 'bout three and a half.
elmicko Posted April 7, 2010 #6 Posted April 7, 2010 I changed the oil in my 86 MKII a few months ago and it held 3 1/2. After riding it for a while it wanted the other 1/2 qt. Not sure why, it's not burning oil and it's not leaking anywhere.
Squidley Posted April 7, 2010 #7 Posted April 7, 2010 3 1/2 with the filter changed, adjust so the level is mid window, too high and you can puke it out into the breather box.
Condor Posted April 7, 2010 #8 Posted April 7, 2010 Put in 3 quarts and then top it off to the middle of the sight glass. Works every time....
