Oil change - not

Slipperyeel · Jul 13, 2020

Need some thoughts. Got a first on my hands.

Just come to change the oil. Been out for a spin. Left the bike 20min so I could get into it. Bash plate off, unscrewed filler cap, removed oil filter with the drain pan underneath.

Apart from the usual oil flowing out over filter as I unscrewed it, nothing else has come out??!! I can still see about 5mm in the sight glass! See pic below.

I've tried turning over the motor by hand in case it was just in some weird point in its cycle (not that I think there should be any of those!!).

Need some ideas!!

You're not kidding

Job done. But I had to keep stopping. Too hard while laughing out loud at myself

Lockdown and age getting the better of me

I did think about that. But I'm having such a laugh myself, seems a bit unfair not to share it

Just drop those tools and step away from that bike, and call a mechanic, and no, we all haven't had those moments

On the plus side, you didn’t ask what oil to use. You’ll have better days.

On the Hex don`t you fill to just overflow, then quickly screw down before anymore gets out??

You are not alone!

Then you clearly haven't done anything. Sorry, meant anything
