Title: How to change oil and filter on a Savage / S40
Post by adri on 08/20/21 at 06:36:05

Hey guys, making another contribution though I'm sure this has been covered before, there doesn't seem to be a lot of video content on it.

Here's how to do an oil and filter change on the Suzuki Savage / Suzuki Boulevard S40:

I hope some first time wrenchers will find this helpful. You only really need a 5 mm hex key (allen wrench), a 14 mm wrench. You can use a 5mm socket and a torque wrench if you want to be picky.

As per last time I'll also have a step by step walkthrough in text with some accompanying pictures but I'm still working on that. My truck's starter died last night so I had to put this project temporarily on hold. Stay tuned!

Very nice video. Did you make it?
I'll add it to the oil change thread in the Tech Section.
Thanks 8-)

Great video. Liked and Subscribed. Many if the links and pictures on this site are broken, so it's great to see folks posting modern content, especially with the level of detail you've provided.

This happens on all the forums I'm on and drives me nuts... But it's probably because I'm cheap so all my vehicles are like 15 years old and the links stopped working a decade ago lol.

PS: Thanks for subscribing! More to come!

Because some people hate video, which, fair enough, I like being able to speed-scroll too.
