Changing the oil filter without dropping the oil.

[chris-red]

Don't ask why I CBA to explain but has anyone changed the oil filter without dropping the oil? I was thinking raise the front of the bike and whip it off? would I have to get it at much of an angle to stop the oil pissing out?


I don'twant to drp the oil and re fill either, I'm hopping for a simple 10 minute job.

did some thing similar one one of my old suzuki`s on a regular basis.
change the filter every 1000m, change the oil every 2000m.

i just used to chock up the front end on to a car wheel ramp, so the front end of the bike was a lot higher than the rear.
whip off the filter very quickly and pop a new one on within a couple of seconds.

half a dozen bits of kitchen roll to wipe up the spill and the job was done
the tip is to get the front end high!

Not done it but I cant think of any reason why it wouldnt work, What bike? If you can lock the back wheel in place two people could probably hold it up while you change the filter, Was reasonably easy to flip over a half stripped down divvy 600 and that involved turning it over fully rather than just holding the front end up.

Only on a DR650, tilting it over as far as possible without dropping it and then changing the filter as quickly as possible, needed a rag to catch the little bit of oil that dribbled out when I un-bolted the cover.

Why bother tipping the bike up, or laying it on it's side Just catch what drips out in a clean container and stick it back in.

I always thought you changed the oil more regularly than the filter, not the other way around
