Were is the oil filter in a 2007 v star custom

2.6 to 2.8 litres with oil filter change

The oil filter is locate within the right side front engine cover this is not a quick job to do.You will have to remove the exhaust system then the outer cover then the oil filter housing.

They hid it from you! On the opposite side that the drain plug is on, there will be a cover that needs to be removed in order to get to the oil filter. Here is a link to a picture that shows the exploded assembly for what you will be dealing with. The oil filter is item number 38. That should be enough to get you going!

No special tools.Just unscrew the bolts.Notice that if there is a small bolt facing towards the fuel tank, that is a bleeder bolt.You must run the engine after replacing the filter so that the air gets out of the filter chamber from that small bolt.Unscrew it 3 turns and when you see oil bleeding from it screw it back tight (10Nm).

buy oil and filter from your dealer, they will know what you need, yes drain it, change filter and re-fill. job done, dont pay to get it done it's so simple and you will save about $85
