Oil change question

[brandontx]

08 510 SMR. I have always changed the oil and filter for each oil change. I am out of filters so was just going to do the oil and not the filter this time and the manual says 1.6 quarts instead of 1.8 quartz as is done when you replace the filter. It this with or without checking the metal screen filters because there is a fair amount of oil that comes out when you check them. Just wanted to check because when I overfill this bike even a little bit it drips out of the airbox for a week.

1.6 is the regular oil change minus only the filter step. Remove all the drain plugs as usual and check screens.

+1. I change the filter on mine every 3 or so oil changes. I cut it apart every once in a while and it's always supper clean.

For bush work I change the filter every second oil change.
