Thanks for confirming the oil capacity of 2.9 liters. I just change oil on my FZ8 and I had been stressed out by some idiots that putted comments on forums talking about 3.4 liters, 3.1 liters... Thanks for confirming it.
This is from the manual >> Engine oil quantity:
Without oil filter cartridge replacement:
2.90 L (3.07 US qt, 2.55 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement:
3.10 L (3.28 US qt, 2.73 Imp.qt)
Probably the best video iv found on how to change an oil.
good video man i bought a 13 fz8 last year awesome bike i switched from a cruiser thought it would be a good cross in the middle. just wanted to throw this out there for some people to im sure you allready know i like to put a couple shhets of aluminum foil over the pipes behind the filter the oil runs right off of it less of a mess to clean at the end i still keep the cleaner close by just incsase. just wanted to throw a little something out there nice video man close to riding season here in NY im getting itchy haha safe riding
thanks for the video. I just purchased my first bike second hand from a co worker. a 2013 fz8 with 3800 miles on it and I'm about to change the oil this weekend. I was planning on bringing it to a dealership but after seeing this I think I can manage it myself.
MrGoldenMoose it's pretty easy.
Great upload Mr. Slap! Thank you so much! The little things you mention, like starting bolts by hand, makes this one of the best DIY videos.
Thankyou for thecomment!
@@PistonSlap hi
Great video man ! Can't help but hear "Hey guys, piss and slap here" at the start lmao
Lol
You did forget to mention the copper-seal of the bolt needs to be changed after each oil-change otherwise it could get leaky.
Second: I would recommend to loosen the bolt first then the oil-filter. And thrid: dip your finger into the old oil and moisten the sealing of the new filter before mounting it.
Apart from this: Nice diy video.
K&n comes pre slicked, however filling up the filter with clean oil, (as full as you can without making a mess putting the new filter back on...) could be beneficial to aid in avoiding dry starts
Do you know off hand what size the crush washer is? 14mm bolt...but not sure of the dimensions of the washer. Thanks for the video!
I dont.
You may take a look at amazon. That's where I get mine from. I use the same washer from my 2013 zx6r to 2018 triumph tiger 800.
Cool, nice and easy video! Was thinking i'd have to take my exhaust off! that's a relief haha
blaneysiktube Glad to know this video helped you out.
Hey mate. Awesome video. If I dont have the torque wrench, can i just adjust to something close? Also, im guessing you need a pit stand to do this? Thanks
You can hand tighten the oil filter, about 3/4 to 1 turn from when the seal touches the engine. I found that after I had done the oil change, not all of the old oil had drained out. It is best to change to oil on this model with both tires on the ground. Hope this helps.
2 off questions about the fz8
Does the fz8 have the same radiator as the fz07 looking for a radiator front guard?
What's up with the 8 is it the step/middle child?
I'm not sure on the radiator questions, as for the size. It seems a lot of new riders and shorter riders like the 7. The fz8 is a good intermediate bike and not so powerful like the mt09 and MT10
PS I get that yet there is not much on the forums, Google, parts etc about the fz8
Help please. What type of coolant/antifreeze should I use? I cant find anywhere what to buy. Thank you
I'm going to send a second message right after this one. If you don't see it, check your spam folder.
Maxima racing oils have a coolant that I use in all my bikes. It is called Coolanol here is the link. You should be able to find it online and in stores if they carry it. www.maximausa.com/product/coolanol-power/
If you want to stay with the factory stuff here is the link for it. Your Yamaha dealer should have it also

Hope that helps
Thank you for the information. This helps alot. Thanks again.
I have heard some people pre fill the oil (halfway) what do you think about that? Also do you use a new crush washer?
Hi, what brand tool you use?
Mac
You've Outdone Yourself. Hey/ library hop $ 1!
Thanks
Do I have to lift the rear to change the oil?? I don’t have a atand
No I just do it because I had one
What kind of oil did you put in the bike?
Robert Greibesland 10w40 mobile one 4t. That was what the ow we wanted. I'm a fan of Maxima Racing Oils ProPlus 10w40
great video! love this bike ;-)
It seems like a great all around sport bike. I'm hoping I get a chance to ride it and do a review on it. Thanks for the comment!
Piston Slap I've got a 2011 Yamaha fz8 and u can't see my filter, it's in same place but has some type of cover over it with 2 lines going to it. I'll post a pic if I fig out how to do so
The only thing that I remember seeing with lines running to it was the oil cooler. The oil filter screws to that.
Hey man, do you remember what exhaust he's got on there? Awesome video as well
He had the vance & hines
@@PistonSlap I appreciate it man. Doing my oil change on Fri with the use of this video. Thanks again for making this!
I would try a coffmans exhaust, the sound is awesome
Nice job man!
Thanks man, I appreciate that.
How did you get your exhaust gold like that?
Riding it. The temperature turns it that color
Running it lean will do that. Guessing he has a slip on with no ecu tune/flash.
pretty sure its not supposed to be 3/8 , Japanese use metric, i mean it worked but still.
3/8 is a tighter 10mm😁
I have to add something critical: DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE DRAIN BOLT!!!!!! You'll end up damaging the aluminum sump therfore it will leak.
That's a good point!
Thks!
Where can I get a oil filter socket?
Here is a link to Rocky Moutian ATV for the one I have. If your needing something now then try a motorcycle shop. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/989/36867/K-%26-L-Oil-Filter-Socket-Wrench?term=oil filter wrench
Piston Slap hi if i wont to change only oil After 5K .no filter How many liters I need to put?
2.9 liters. Is the amount. I would personally recommend replacement of the filter.
Thanks
But if I won't onli oil it not 2.9. Do you know how many?

Music too loud... can't hear anything
Well, stripped the fucking oil filter with that cup socket..god damn thing just would not break lose..
gUdLuCkKiD that thing must have been really tight. There are a few other things you can try. There are a plier type oil filter tool that you can use. or worse case is stab a screw driver threw the filter and twist it off.
+Piston Slap I just rode home from work and it is like an hour ride, so it was hot enough for sure. Its just eating up fuel like crazy so I need to change it ASAP. Literally just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
gUdLuCkKiD It's a nice bike.
+Piston Slap Yeah I love it, only thing I hate about it, is that its eating up gas, and its probably because the oil needs to be changed. I hope, only other thing I could think of that could be causing it would be the fuel injector needs to be cleaned.
gUdLuCkKiD There are a few other things to consider, air filter, and tune if it has one. Some people install power commanders and add way to much fuel to them.
