Engine oil capacity. - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hi all.

I'm on the road on the FZ6 in Colorado. I'm due for an oil change in 400 miles and while I have the part number for the filter, I can't remember the engine's oil capacity. I don't have my manual handy. Can somebody PM me the info?

Thanks in advance.

Fred

I'm sick of deleting PMs to stay under the limit so this will have to do

around 3 quarts w/ a filter change

I use the Castrol Super Bike oil and they come in liters. 3 usually does the trick.

Just checked my service manual...2.5 litres, or 2.64 US quarts.

Well you know if you spend a few pennies you too could have the capacity of 1000 PMs. Just a few mouse clicks and you are there!
