This is a basic run-down of what is involved when changing the oil on the new Ducati Diavel. The process is pretty much identical to the 848, 1098, 1198, and Streetfighter engines, but for those who haven’t done an oil change on any Ducatis, this will get you going. Tools needed; -5mm & 4mm allen drive sockets -Ratchet -Torque wrench -Oil filter socket or other filter tool, 17mm wrench for K&N KN-153. -Flat head screwdriver and rubber mallet (in case the oil filter is stuck) -needle nose pliers -Ducati ThreeBond 1215 (or other high temp liquid gasket) -funnel (when refilling) -oil pan -shop light (optional) -OIL! -Bucket or other container for old oil. Full Synthetic 4T 10w40, 15w50, or any other weight for your local ambient temperatures listed in the manual. I prefer Mobil 1 4T Racing Full Synthetic, Motul 4T Racing Full Synthetic, or Repsol 4T Racing Full Synthetic. Oil filter is Ducati part # 444.4.003.5A or a K&N KN-153.

    i went there to have an oil change only.after a while they asked me to go to my car and explained that i need to have a radiator flush etc.whatever(by the way I only have 16,000miles on my car)that will cost me 2. instead of the for oil change.i said just go on with the oil change and this guy let me signed the paper, for i thought i was done. a couple of mins. waiting i said to the cashier to pls. check why my car is not yet done. sure enough the guy performed the job, i told him to stop but he was already done by that time. they called the manager and everything was just crazy coz im not gonna pay for it. unfortunately i signed it remember. i was so furious when i paid for it although they gave it to me for 5. the sad part when i drove the car like 5 meters , the light pop out in my dashboard looks like the oil light that looks like a genie lamp.anyway i went back and they said they forgot to reset the light. ok.when i got home i opened the hood and smoke were coming out.

    Well I am 21 and I never had a boyfriend and I am really shy when it comes to talking to guys that I like. My friends always tell me that I never notice and come off as mean when a guy wants to talk to me. I want to change and there is this guy where I get my oil change (Jiffy Lube) that I kinda like. He always is super nice to me and talks to me a lot while I am there, but I think he probably is doing his job. How do I start talking to him to let him know I am interested? And guys how do you show a girl you are interested in them? What are the signs? I am totally clueless

    Will you have to find a job that’s closer? Or a higher paying job?

Tools needed; -5mm allen (or 5mm allen socket + torque wrench) -4mm allen -Oil filter socket or other filter tool -needle nose pliers -razer blade, box cutter, or other fine blade for the sump cover -Ducati ThreeBond 1215 (or other high temp liquid gasket) -funnel (when refilling) -oil pan -shop light (optional) -OIL!

It looks like you may be able to use the 4A or a K&N KN-153, but I haven’t tested that yet. I’d let K&N figure that out first before trying your luck, but the KN-153 is the same filter for most of the other Ducatis, so I have to assume the only difference between bikes is filter length. The Diavel filter seems a bit short compared to the 1098.

    According to VW (San Jose CA) who charge for an oil change as they claim that all new VW’s (All Model’s) need synthetic oil thus the inflated prices for a 10 min job. I do not have the manula to hand but if this is the case you’d think they would mention this at purchase time ?? Buyers beware. I do understand that there are benifts of using Synthetic oil but if I changed the oil always after only 3 k miles then what ever oil I use should not make any difference.

      I have a 1999 Saturn SC1.175k miles on it. I’ve done many repairs to keep it running. Put more into it than I spent to buy it. I keep up on oil changes. I have poor credit, but know with a decent down payment I can get a loan. I have 00 coming to me. My current car needs an entire new exhaust costing me about 0. I’m afraid if I put the money into it then something else big will happen. Also when its moving the RPG’s have been review up from just below 2 to above 3 even if I’m just coasting down a hill. I have the option to try and get a new junker or fix this one and save up while I wait for it to die. Some advice is appreciated.
      No transmission work yet, though I am afraid that that’s what going on with it now. Water pump , sensors, axle, more than one break job and I’m not one to ride them nor am I heavy on them. I’ve had the car for about three years. Some other things that I don’t remember.

        Due to the gas prices going up, I have found myself in a difficult situation, where I have to quit my job and get a job closer to home because I am spending too much money on gas per week. This is ridiculous. People shouldn’t have to do this. We are a free country? Right? So why are we being forced to make changes to our lifestyle just because the big oil companies want to milk the consumers. Can’t the government do something?

            I’m getting my oil changed and will likely be going to one of the chain stores for convenience. Any opinions on which is best….Pep Boys, Sears, Jiffy Lube, Firestone and Mr. Tire are the choices that come to mind in my area. And I mean best in terms of cost, reliability, honesty and job performance. I know it’s just an oil change, but some places try to take advantage more than others.

                Among all the gloomy pictures of the job market, real estate/credit crisis, oil prices, etc, it’s almost impossible to digest the news that we are spending BILLION per MONTH in the war-fields! I simply wonder if president Bush is proud of himself!
