- Oil & Filter change videos are some of the most popular on my Andy Mechanic channel, so, given my WR450F was so long overdue it's first service & the fact I'm heading down to the South Island in a couple of days for a 4 day trail ride, I knew filming the process would be helpful to a number of fellow riders....
The process for an oil change on this 2013 bike is a little more complex than most, it's important to drain the old engine oil from both the left & rear of engine to ensure as much of the old oil is removed.
This video covers the type of engine oil required, the genuine Yamaha part numbers for the oil filter & various O-rings that should be replaced. You'll also need a couple of copper washers for the sump bung bolts too but unfortunately we were out of stock the day I gathered up the service pack.
If you have any questions or comments then please add them below & I'll get back to you just as soon as I can.

The best oil change video for Yamaha on CZcams. Applaud you for not forgetting to make mention of the oil pressure check bolt near the cylinder head.
Just found your channel and your videos on the wr450 are a huge help! Subscribed.
Cheers from Texas 🏁🤠
Great clear video!
thanks mate had no idea really so this saved me taking bike into shop:) cheers!!
Great video mate, cheers
Thanks Matthew :-)
Nice !
When you say make sure oil doesn't come out from the dip stick that's not right according to the manual its from the check bolt. Not the oil tank cap. It's located near the gear lever just under the sprocket.
Make sure oil does not come out of the dipstick hole & make sure it DOES come out of the bleed screw on the cylinder head.
Hope this helps
Andy
This the same for a 2007wr450f?
Do you check that oul lwvel on the side stand or bike level on lift? Thanks
Always with the bike in the upright position when checking oil level
Cheers Andy
Changing my oil for the first job one on same bike and it took 2 1/4 quarts of oil … I thought it is only one quart. Must be doing something wrong. The oil comes to the marks on the dip stick while car is level
Do you know what size copper crush washers they are.
Sorry no. I use the Genuine part - never had to measure it up.
Cheers Andy
No problem, I didn't measure it last time.
does it not help to drain when warm?
Yes, definitely but only warm, not hot :-)
1 liter of oil?
Yep! That's all they run! Gulp
@@AndyMechanic hey mate been told to change my oil every 250km to 500 what do you recommend? I understand it's also how you ride them.
