RSV4 | How To Change Engine Oil Fast

How to change engine oil on the Aprilia RSV4 & Tuono V4.

Engine oil capacity recommended on the service manual is 4.1 liters. You will only need about 3.8 - 3.9 liters, so you could get away with only 4 quarts. Although, it is strongly recommended to purchase a spare quart to keep on handy, as the Aprilia V4 engine consumes oil and you will need to refill periodically before the service interval.

In addition, the service manual oil level check suggests to ride the bike for about 10 miles to bring the oil to operating temperature and recheck the level after a few seconds. By following this procedure you might find that you need approximately 100ml of additional oil. This is why it is strongly recommended to have a fifth quart. Do not screw in the dipstick when checking the oil level.

Service manual recommends to perform an oil change every 6000 miles. I prefer to change oil every 3000 miles. Based on the rate the engine consumes oil, at least on my riding style, within those 3000 miles I use the remaining fifth quart for oil refills. Another reason why you should have a space quart.
