New Owner 97 M900

I topped her up with a few ml of 10W40 , all they had in Halfords

Ducati specialist got back to me on the oil , he likes to use 15/50 and 20w50 in hot weather (Spot on DArren) , 10W40 is fine but you have to keep an eye on the level because it burns off quickly

Might just get some Motul 300V 4T Factory Line 15W-50 and a K&N filter KN-153

Quick Q , do I need any additional gaskets for an oil change?

Dont want to drop the oil and realise I need something else

Get a couple of new crush washers for the sump plug. You can re-use the old ones at a push, but if it weeps you have to drop the oil again to fix it.
