Ducati Diavel Owners Manual: Checking engine oil level

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the clutch cover. When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be perfectly upright and the engine cold. The oil level should be between the two marks next to the sight glass. If level is low, top up with shell advance ultra 4 engine oil. Remove the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level. Replace the filler cap.
