Can someone shed some light on this, which is taken from the shop manual for an 08 R6:
Engine oil quantity
Total amount
3.40 L (3.59 US qt) (2.99 Imp.qt)
Without oil filter cartridge replacement
2.40 L (2.54 US qt) (2.11 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement
2.60 L (2.75 US qt) (2.29 Imp.qt)
No worries, use 2.6L when changing the oil filter as well, but what the hell is total oil capacity a measure of?
Does it imply that .8L's of oil is left in the bike even when you dump the oil and change the oil filter? (If so, where is it, is it just tied up in oil lines and pumps etc, or is there some sort of second reservoir similar to a dry sump engine?)
Or is it measure of something totally different?
