The Yamaha FZS600 Fazer<\/a> oil drain bolt and oil filter are located in fairly standard locations for a 4 cylinder, inline 4 engine.<\/p>\n

The oil filter<\/strong> is on the bottom front of the engine, just behind the exhaust downpipes, the oil drain bolt<\/strong> is located on left side of the engine, close to the side stand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oil drain bolt and filter location shown with the fairings on the bike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oil drain bolt is located on the bottom\/left of the engine, near where the side stand mounting point is. Unlike many other inline 4 cylinder engines the bolt is on the side of the engine<\/strong> (not the bottom).<\/p>\n

Exact location of the oil drain bolt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note – The oil drain bolt is a 17mm bolt<\/strong> and should be tightened to 43nm<\/strong> when putting it back.
\nDon’t forget to check the condition of the washer and replace it if necessary as these can corrode and cause the bolt to leak oil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The oil filter is located on the bottom\/back of the engine<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oil filter can be accessed from the bottom\/front of the bike (between the exhaust header pipes) and is located on the front\/bottom of the engine, just behind the exhaust headers.<\/p>\n

Note – The oil filter should be tightened to 17nm<\/strong>. If you don’t have a suitable torque wrench, as a rough guide, the filter should be tightened with a wrench a QUARTER TURN past finger tight<\/strong> (and remember to rub some oil on the filter rubber sealing gasket before installing).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
