'07 UC here and has screw type. My levels are the same as other folks: half on the dipstick cold and close to full hot with the recommended 3.5 quarts added after an oil and filter change.
I changed all fluids for the first time today [just bought the bike] so bare with me.
Everything was changed by way of the owners manual, I haven't gotten a service manual yet.
Manual says 3.5 qt for motor. Check on jiffy stand. After filling, dip stick read at half, right where it should be cold.
After riding I let it set an cool [I know I should have checked it hot also] and checked again. Then it read low.
Does the owners manual take into acount the oil filter amount?
It looks like it may take several more oz. But don't want to over fill.
Has anyone else found this?
Thanks
BTW. Tried to find this in the search. No luck.
You did good. You may have to add a little more later. I was in a rush a couple of weeks ago and put in about 3.8 qts. I went on a long trip and had oil dripping form the air cleaner. But everything seems OK now. There's always some extra trapped up in the engine somewhere after draining.
