Xt 600 oil leak under the starter - 1990 Yamaha XT 600 E

SOURCE: how many liters of oil for xt 600

hi buddy by the oil plug will be a number for example 70c /700cm2 this will mean 700ml or you can do it by looking at the oil sight glass should come 3/4 full but make sure you add more as the oil filter will be empty so that needs filling also remember before you drain the oil run the bike for 5 mins so the oil becomes thinner and all drains also dab some oil on the new oil filter seal buddy any more info get back to me

SOURCE: how to change oil

simply remove the sump plug which is in the form of a bolt in the bottom of the engine you may need to remove sump guard if you bike has one fitted once drained you may want to flush it with a good quality engine flush then just refill with the correct amount which is usually stated on the clutch casing near the filler cap hope thos helps

Use only JASO MA certified motorcycle oil. 10w-40 for cooler climates. 20w-50 for warmer conditions. Any oil that says Energy conserving on the label will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. Synthetic oil help your bike run cooler and shift easier.You will need 3 quarts of oil and will have some left over. How much you need to put in depends on how well you drain the old oil. There should be two drain points, one on the frame and one on the motor. You will have to pour in between 2 and 2 1/2 quarts and run the motor for 5 minutes before you can accurately check the oil level. Then top up as necessary but do not over fill it .
