Oil change

[J Kevin]

I am ready to do my 2nd oil change. I just noticed in the manual that I need to clean the mesh filter assembly. I didn't see this on the first oil change and I didn't see a screen filter. Can anyone tell me what I am missing or where I should look?

Hi Kevin - I'm not sure TBH - oil & oil filter would be what I'd change, although as I'm still in warranty the dealer has been doing that for me.  I see what you mean looking at the manual, there is a separate line from "Change engine oil and filter" where it says "Clean the engine oil mesh filter assembly".  It can't be hard, if only we knew where it was....

Think I might have it......found mention of it under the Multistrada 1200 forum - on the 1200 at least, the mesh filter assembly is located next to the main oil drain plug.  Here is a link to the relevant forum page http://www.mts1200.info.gridhosted.co.uk/index.php?threads/engine-oil-change.154/ - it's about half way down if you follow the procedure for oil change.

ducati_al, I just removed the skid plate, and can not see anything that would be connected to a scree. On my 71 500 r/t. the screen is part of the drain plug. I will get the 950 up on the lift in the next couple of days (waiting for my oil shipment from amazon). I will also call the service manager and see if I can get any answer from her. I will let you know if I find out anything.

OK - be interesting to know what you find.  If only there was a workshop manual readily available....

I have not done the mesh filter as I decided to let the dealer do it but I have a copy of the 2016 Muti 1200 Enduro shop manual that shows it. THe 950 is probably the same. I will post screen captures.





Hope this helps.

The engine on the 950 is a different configuration to the 1200. The filter is mounted on the front  with the filter plug hole on the side with a small drain plug under weath, they are two different engines with the 950 coming directly from the super mortard

Thanks for clearing that up. It is a shame we cannot get a service manual for the 950 Multi. I will look for one for the Supermotard.

The mesh filter is on the side of the engine as Grahew says. This is a really good clip showing it.

I think there may be another filter underneath the engine close to the drain plug. I've seen some older descriptions where they take this out, but Ducati seem to have a policy of moving the filter around depending on the engine size  I can't see why they would need two so perhaps it's not on the MTS950 engine. However there is what looks like another plug type affair

The Multi 950 has the same engine as the Hyper 939.  Service manual can be downloaded here:

Oil change from monster 821 should be the same.

On Youtube do a search for "Ducati Monster 821 | Oil Change"

All 3 plugs torque at 42N/M (min 38 max 46), Oil Filter 11 N/m, Mesh filter hand-tight only.
