Just changed the 2020 Yamaha MTO3 Engine Oil 2,150ml & Filter : 3210.8 mi ODO

This exact OEM oil filter made in Thailand 
OIL FILTER A-5GH-13440-61-00 YAMAHA OEM

This fully synthetic motorcycle oil.  
Valvoline 4-Stroke Motorcycle Full Synthetic SAE 10W-40 Motor Oil 1 QT, Case of 6

I used one paper towel section, one pair of nitril gloves

Saved the oil filter after draining it to bring to automotive parts store for recycling

Collected the old oil in a screw top oil collection pan, then transferred it to a metal can for recycling later

Slow and careful, no oil was spilled incredibly, one of the cleanest oil changes I have ever done, thank God!

Used a 3mm hex wrench to remove the 4 bolds holding the lower fairing on.

Used a large 1/2in torque wrench with a 12mm socket to loosen the drain bold, then carefully unscrewed it by hand to retain it and the crush washer.

Used the paper towel to wipe the bold and crush washer. Let the bike drain for 25 minutes. Then used an oil filter removal tool with 3/8in adapter to 1/2in + a 6in extension bar, to loosen the oil filter.

I poured fresh oil into the new filter and rotated it at an angle to distribute the oil into the filter medium, then immediately after removing the oil filter set it upside down at a slight angle to drain into the oil pan screen holding it up.

Wiped the area around the oil drain bolt & filter zone to remove oil residue, then screwed the new filter primed with oil onto the filter mount as tight as I was able, then used the oil filter removal tool to apply about 10lbs of torque to tighten the filter canister snug.

I removed the oil cap, then used a double cap clean oil funnel to add 2,150 ml of fresh 10W-40 motorcycle specific oil.

Hand holding the lower fairing in place, I put the hex bolts onto the 3mm T handle hex wrench, then optically lined up the hole in the fairing with the threaded holes in the fairing mounts, then inserted the bold on the end of the wrench carefully and hand tightened each of the 4 bolts to about 8 ft lbs.

I packed up my tools and put them away. Setup the oil jug into the back of the car so that when its more full, after changing the oil in my wife's 2010 Prius III tomorrow, I can recycle the oil in the blue steel 600 gallon motor oil recycling tank in the back of the local automotive parts store, where they collect used motor oil.

Done :) Took about an hour. Amazingly I did not have to move the bike, unlock it, turn it on, or do anything else, able to do the entire procedure in the garage parked behind the car, without even opening the garage door, in relatively low light conditions.
