Changing the oil in your 2010 Husaberg FE570 is essential for keeping your dirt bike running smoothly and preventing unnecessary engine wear. Below is a comprehensive, MotoSport.com proprietary guide featuring the tools required, step-by-step process, and special tips specific to this make and model. Always work in a clean environment and dispose of used oil responsibly.

Tools and Supplies Needed

  • 8mm socket and ratchet (for oil filter cover bolts)
  • 17mm wrench or socket (for drain plug and banjo bolt)
  • Circlip pliers (to help remove the oil filter if needed)
  • Drain pan
  • Shop rags or paper towels
  • Replacement oil filter (Husaberg/KTM PN 77038005000 or K&N KN-655)
  • Replacement engine oil (See your owner’s manual for the correct viscosity and quantity)
  • Anti-seize grease (optional, for threads)
  • Copper crush washers (if the originals are worn)
  • New O-ring for the oil filter cover (if the old one looks damaged)

Steps to Change the Oil

  • Warm Up the Engine:
    • Start and run the engine for a few minutes to bring the oil to operating temperature. This helps suspend contaminants for thorough drainage.
  • Prepare the Bike:
    • Shut off the engine and place the bike on a stable stand.
    • Locate your drain pan under the engine; oil will flow from several points during the process.
  • Remove the Drain Plug and Oil Screen:
    • Use the 17mm wrench or socket to remove the crankcase drain plug at the bottom of the engine. Allow oil to drain completely.
    • Remove and thoroughly clean the oil screen (also known as the filter screen). Replace it temporarily by finger tightening, as it will be removed again during the process.
  • Remove and Replace the Oil Filter:
    • Using the 8mm socket, unscrew the two bolts from the oil filter cover and remove the cover. Oil will flow here, so ensure your drain pan is positioned correctly.
    • Tip: Tilting the bike slightly to the left may help drain more oil at this stage.
    • Remove the old filter. Circlip pliers can help if it's stuck.
    • Install the new filter (KTM PN 77038005000 or K&N KN-655). Clean and re-oil the cover’s O-ring, or replace if worn. Make sure it's seated properly.
    • Replace the filter cover, using anti-seize on the bolts, and ensure metal-on-metal contact between cover and engine case.
  • Clean the Banjo Bolt Oil Screen:
    • Locate the chrome oil line on the front of the engine. Remove the upper banjo bolt with your 17mm wrench to access the second oil filter screen.
    • Remove the screen and thoroughly clean it. Inspect the copper crush washers on both sides of the oil line for wear, and replace if needed.
    • If necessary, loosen the lower banjo bolt to help with removal and cleaning.
    • Reinstall the screen and banjo bolt, ensuring proper placement of the copper washers to prevent leaks.
  • Final Drain and Clean-Up:
    • Re-remove the oil screen and drain plug to ensure all oil is out if you wish to be thorough, then reinstall and torque to spec when finished.
    • Check the drain plug washer and replace if needed to keep from developing leaks.
  • Refill with Fresh Oil:
    • Remove the oil filler cap, pour in the correct amount and type of new engine oil for the FE570 (see your owner’s manual for specification).
    • Start the engine and let it run for a minute, then turn off and let the oil settle. Check the oil level with the inspection window or dipstick and add oil if necessary.
  • Inspect for Leaks and Final Checks:
    • Look around the drain plug, oil filter cover, and banjo bolt for any sign of leaks.
    • Dispose of used oil and filters at a suitable recycling facility.

Model-Specific Call-Outs for the 2010 Husaberg FE570

  • Quick tip: The FE570’s unique oil system means draining from three points (drain plug, oil filter cover, banjo bolt screen) is essential for a complete change. Missing any of these can leave behind old oil, impacting performance.
  • Oil Filter Part Numbers: For the 2010 FE570, use KTM PN 77038005000 or K&N KN-655 oil filters. Always ensure the O-ring is properly installed to prevent oil leaks.
  • Copper Crush Washers: Replace these whenever they show deformation to maintain a good seal on the banjo bolt connections to the oil line.
  • Thread Care: A light touch of anti-seize on bolts (excluding drain plug, which often has a washer under it) is a good practice to prevent future stuck fasteners, but do not over-tighten.
  • Drain More Oil: Tilting the bike to the left when draining from the oil filter cover helps remove more used oil.

Maintenance Frequency and Tips

  • Change your oil and filter every 10–15 hours of riding or after especially hard or dusty conditions for maximum engine life.
  • Keep spare crush washers, filters, and oil in your garage for regular maintenance.
  • Inspect all parts for wear or damage during each oil change and replace components as needed.

Regular oil changes are vital to the 2010 Husaberg FE570’s reliability and performance. Following these detailed steps and tips ensures you get the most out of every ride, every time.
