Oil Change Info -
Honda's spec says the Talon takes 6.08 quarts of oil (engine oil and filter), not a particularly 'round' number. How much is .08 oz? Simple - 32 oz. times .08 = 2.56 oz. Engine oil and filter plus the DCT filter is 6.1 quarts = 6 qt. 3.2 oz.
Oil filter part # 15412-HP7-A01
DCT filter part # 15412-MGS-D21
O-ring part numbers are at the bottom of this post.
Where are the damn oil drain plugs?!?! 🤔 Note that the stock skid plate is clearly stenciled (although a bit hard to see when yer lying on the floor) but that didn't help once I replaced it with a 1/2" full Trail Armor skid.
One drain bolt is horizontal, 17 mm and can be seen/reached from in front of the LR tire with a long extension and universal joint (it's not a straight shot). The other is 12 mm and pointed 'almost' straight down (the small red hole in the pic). The 'almost' is important so you can get the socket on straight and not strip the bolt head.
I'd guess there are about 2 cups of oil lurking behind the filters waiting to dump on yer garage floor. I happened to have a ~7" x 10" pan that fits just right for catching that oil, the filters and springs on their way to the floor.
The pan is 7-5/8" x 11-3/8" OD.
About replacing the filter 0-rings and drain plug crush washers on every oil change as recommended - I don't do it, I reuse them until I get leakage. The crush washers don't crush like the old days, they're simply flat aluminum washers that conform to the harder bolt and good for 'many' reuses. The o-rings in my dirt bikes lasted for years, so I replace them if/when they seep. IMO, YMMV, yada, yada, yada
The following was posted by PaulF in another thread and I thought it fit here too.
Like others have said here, I have used the original factory ones for 3 oil changes (3000+ miles) and the oil filter O Ring just started to seep (collects a tiny bit of dust after a ride). None of the drain washers leak. Since the filter O Ring leaks, I will change all of them next service and be good for another 3000 miles.
That said, if you really need them...
Your local dealer if you need them fast (but expensive).
Rocky Mountain ATV/MC if you need other items totaling $75 or more so you can get free shipping.
Ron Ayres has good prices and reasonable shipping.
