I searched the forum and could not find an alike thread. I don't have the User's Manual so these questions might be boring for most. Should get the manual Monday or Tuesday.
- There are two drain plugs and two crush washers?
- The drain plugs are removed and oil drained while on the side stand?
- The oil is filled while on the center stand?
- Quarts of oil used for an oil change?
- Oil filter, various?
I drained the oil and removed the oil filter and will be refilling Monday morning. I was surprised by how much oil was in the oil filter and held in the engine by the oil filter. Trying to ride 250 miles so I will be within 50 miles of the 600 mile service. Maybe 1,000 miles by Friday. Why does breaking-in an engine feel like work... well fun work.

- There are: two drain bolts (oil tank & crankcase), two copper washers, 12mm wrench, 3.6 quarts of oil, funnel, one oil filter, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, shop towels.
- Run the engine to warm the oil.
- Remove the drain bolts and drain oil while on the side stand.
- Remove the old oil filter. There is more oil in the filter than you would guess. Can be messy.
- Install the two drain bolts with washers (90430-12213) (14 ft lbf).
- Add 3.6 U.S. quarts of oil and install the oil filter (5GH-13440-20) (12 ft lbf). /
- The oil is measured in the Viewer Window while on a level surface. Oil should be between the maximum and minmum Viewer Window lines.
- The type, weight, and brand of oil and brand of oil filter is up to you.
- 3.1 liter without oil filter and 3.4 liter with oil filter / 3.3 U.S. quarts without oil filter or 3.6 U.S. quarts with oil filter

The Owner's Manual and this Forum has more information concerning changing the oil for your Super Tenere.
Do everyone a favor and recycle your used oil & oil filter.
