I followed the book exactly for my first oil change on my 2015 r3t. I had previously bought the three washers even though I probably didn’t need them. I used Castrol 10-50 motorcycle specific oil, and a Triumph filter.
I retorqued the three plugs to 20 foot pounds. (Book says 18).
The book calls for 5.4 liters, or 5.7 quarts of oil. So, I put 5 1/2 quarts of oil in and started her up, and went downtown to top off the fuel tank. I came home and checked the level, and it appears a little high, but I have a hard time seeing where the level actually is on the chrome stick. I wish the dipstick was made differently because I think it’s hard to tell, especially with clean oil.
I’m sure that I drained all of the old oil out of the three drains, as well as the filter chamber.
Should I worry about being too fussy?
Thanks for any advice, Eric
