Complete Oil Change on a Ducati Monster 821 and 937 | Including Mesh Filter Service

Welcome to the very first episode of The Moto Method! In this video, we'll be performing a comprehensive oil change on a Ducati Monster (applicable to 821 and 937 years 2014 through 2025), including the crucial mesh filter service.

Please note that for the 937 this procedure is ONLY applicable for the oil filter, drain plug, mesh filter plug, mesh filter, and service intake plug steps. As the exhaust system and its removal is very different for the M821 compared to the 937, the exhaust must be removed differently on the 937 than what is shown here

I guide you through each step of the process with detailed instructions and insights drawn from the tech manual and forum posts. We'll cover everything you need to know, from selecting the right oil, tools, to disassembly, service, and reassembly with those specific Ducati-specified compounds.

Step By Step Guide for the Following:
Tools and materials needed for the oil change
Draining old oil and replacing the oil filter
Reinstalling Drain Plug
Removal, servicing, and reinstallation of the mesh filter
Tips for reassembling and ensuring everything is correctly tightened
