Actual Oil Capacity of the CB1100???

[Nachodaddy]

GoldOxide's approach works for me.

Covered many times, but—
From the service manual: After draining—3.8L (4 US qts, 3.3 Imp qt)

After draining/filter change: 3.9L (4.1 US qt, 3.4 Imp qt)

After disassembly: 4.9L (5.2 US qt, 4.3 Imp qt)

Ok, but when I changed the filter and drained the oil, 4 quarts still completely fills the sight glass.

Are you folks doing anything special to drain out any extra oil from the cooler?

I just removed the filter and drain plug and let it drain for 15 minutes.

4 quarts is more than she needs...

I would be surprised if it takes more than 3.9 quarts, even when changing the filter.

Fwiw, the 4.9 liter figure I found was for the older 80s CB1100. Details, details!
