Step By Step: How to Change Your Motorcycle's Engine Oil

Remove and Clean Plastic Mesh Filter

In order to remove larger particulates, unscrew and remove the plastic mesh filter from the side of the engine case.

First, wipe the mesh off with a clean rag so no particles remain. Then, if possible, blow smaller particles off with compressed air.

While the drain plug, mesh filter, and oil filter holes on the engine are exposed, wipe them all down with a clean rag to remove any accumulated sludge, in order to ensure a tight seal.
