The actual steps for the oil change on Indian Scout
As we said before, let’s start by warming up our motorcycle. When it is warm we can proceed with the oil change:
- Untight the drain plugs
- Place a bucket under the bike and remove the plugs
- Check the plugs for debrids and clean them
- Remove the original oil filter
Once the oil is all out: screw the plugs back in place, install a new oil filter (remember to lubricate the gasket with new oil) and fill the oil tank to the correct level.
Now it si time tu put a saddlebag on your Indian!
