Ducati Streetfighter V4
Every consumable spec for the Ducati Streetfighter V4, each fact sourced, dated, and shown with the source it came from. US-market reference — verify against your owner's manual.
hyper-naked · 2020–present · 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale 90° V4
SP/SP2 trims (2022+) run a dry clutch and a different-branded front caliper (Stylema R) — see ducati-streetfighter-v4-sp. EBC's own catalogue confirms the SP2's pad shape matches this bike's, but don't take that on our say-so alone — check the SP/SP2 sheet.

Oil capacities are the manufacturer's with-filter-change figure, not the dry-rebuild total that circulates online. Always verify against your own owner's manual before you turn a wrench — this is educational reference, not a repair procedure.

Street, track, mixed
Street
- We list the manual's 'with filter change' figure — not the dry-rebuild total that circulates online. On small engines that difference is a 25% overfill.
- Pads fit calipers, not bikes. That's why one shape number covers a Hayabusa and a V-Strom — and why the same bike model can change shape mid-generation. We resolve pads by caliper and year.
Track
- After track days, shorten your oil change. How much is genuinely unsettled — manufacturers say 'adjust to your use,' not a number. Used-oil analysis is the only rigorous answer.
- A street-legal sintered or EPFA-class pad is the manufacturer-sanctioned track-day choice. Full race compounds are for when the pad is the limiting factor — and yours isn't yet.
- RBF-class fluid buys you ~80°C more fade margin when fresh — and gives most of it back within a year as it absorbs moisture. It's a consumable you change more often, not an upgrade you install once.
- For the street: silicate-free motorcycle coolant (Honda's manuals explain why — silicates chew water-pump seals). For the track: check your org's rules — most ban ethylene glycol outright; pro racing allows water only.
Mixed
Run the street specs above, then shorten the oil interval after track days — how much is genuinely unsettled, so used-oil analysis is the honest guide. If your organisation tech-inspects coolant, check its rules before a session.
Maintenance jobs & what they cost
Oil & filter change
Beginner-safeParts — Oil spec JASO MA2 · API SN · Viscosity 15W-50 · Oil capacity with filter 3.4 L · drain not published · dry total not published · Oil filter OEM 44440291C / 44440292B · HiFlo HF159

Notes & corrections
Myths corrected
The number that circulates online is wrong. We checked the primary source.
Oil capacity: A '3.2 L minimum' figure for 2020 circulates on aggregator sites
carbike360.com (unsourced)
Contradicted by the manual's own 3.4 L with-filter figure; discarded.
Service intervals: A manua.ls FAQ snippet claims 'oil change every 6,000 km'
manua.ls auto-generated FAQ
Contradicts both OEM sources; discarded as a generic/wrong snippet.
Coverage gaps
Where the catalogues run out. Flagged in the open, never guessed at.
Oil spec: SP (2022) / SP2 (2023+) trims have their own sheet
TOSPEC research
Factory dry clutch (STM-Evo SBK) — do not apply this bike's wet-clutch oil facts to the SP/SP2. See ducati-streetfighter-v4-sp: no SP/SP2-specific manual was found, so that sheet's oil_spec is honestly left unverified rather than guessed at 'Ducati Corse Performance Oil, no JASO' as earlier research prose here had assumed — see that sheet's conflicts for the full analysis (the closest verified analog, the Panigale V4 R, treats Corse Performance Oil as an OPTIONAL racing product, not the standard fill).
Oil spec: 2020–2022 not yet manual-pinned; 2025+ gen 2 not covered
TOSPEC research
Third-party fluid databases tag the identical 15W-50/MA2/SN spec across 2020–2025; carry earlier/later years as unconfirmed until their manuals are read.
Viscosity: 2020–2022 and 2025+ not yet manual-pinned
TOSPEC research
likely identical but unconfirmed; fill in a later wave.
Oil capacity: Drain-only and dry-total figures are unpublished; not year-by-year manual-pinned beyond MY20 and 2024
TOSPEC research
The MY20 CDN manual independently confirms the same 3.4 L combined sump+filter figure as the 2024 edition — the spec is unchanged across the run. Third-party fluid databases tag 3.4 L across 2020–2025. 2021–2023 editions aren't individually manual-pinned but sit between two confirmed years with an identical figure. The manual gives one combined sump+filter figure only; no drain-only or dry-total number is published.
Oil filter: 44440312B circulates as the current OEM part revision
OEM fiche mirrors / retailers
Suffix revisions of the same cartridge; HF159 fitment is unaffected. 2025+ gen 2 not yet in the HiFlo listing.
Air filter: The dealer listing spans 'Panigale V4, Streetfighter V4' without SF-specific year bounds
TOSPEC research
Scoped to the shared-platform gen-1 years; 2024+ and gen 2 (2025+) unattested. Verify against a parts fiche before shipping.
Spark plugs: 2020–2022 not manual-pinned
TOSPEC research
Retailers list the same plug (NGK LMDR10A-JS / OEM 67040511A) across the whole V4 family without year splits. Gap not published anywhere found.
Front brake pads: SP (2022) / SP2 (2023+) run a DIFFERENTLY-BRANDED front caliper (Brembo 'Stylema R') — an SP/SP2 owner must not assume base-bike pads fit just because this sheet says FA447HH
ultimatemotorcycling.com (2022 SF V4 SP first-look coverage) + ebc-us-304 (checked 2026-07-20)
This was UNFLAGGED prior to this audit. Checked directly: EBC's own catalogue (cat #304, p.206) does list the SP2 at the same FA447HH shape as this base bike, so the pads happen to be identical — but that's a verified fact on the SP/SP2's own sheet (ducati-streetfighter-v4-sp), not something to infer from this page. EBC has NO row at all for the 2022 (pre-SP2) 'Streetfighter V4 SP' — that one model year is an honest gap. Buy SP/SP2 pads off the SP/SP2 sheet, not this one.
Rear brake pads: 2025+ gen 2 unattested
TOSPEC research
fill in a later wave.
Brake fluid: 2020–2022 not yet manual-pinned
TOSPEC research
likely identical but unconfirmed; fill in a later wave.

Research notes
Context from the research trail — how a fact was pinned down.
Oil spec: The same manual page notes 'Using Ducati Corse Performance Oil by Shell with Ducati Dry Clutch Kit Accessory'
ducati-om-streetfighter-v4-2024 p.268
That wording covers an optional dry-clutch conversion kit on the base bike — not the wet-clutch stock spec.
Viscosity: single fixed grade — no temperature/alternate-viscosity chart in the manual
TOSPEC research
Air filter: HiFlo does not catalogue an air filter for the V4 platform
hiflofiltro.com
Front brake pads: 2025+ gen 2 switches to Brembo Hypure calipers
2025 model-launch press coverage (RevZilla/Motorcycle.com)
Almost certainly a different pad shape; no EBC listing yet — carry as a gap.
Chain & sprockets: Taiwan-market version runs 16/41
ducati-om-streetfighter-v4-2024 p.292
Regional variant, excluded from the standard fitment.
Chain & sprockets: Ducati recommends replacing the final drive chain kit within 20,000 km/12,000 mi
ducati-tm-streetfighter-2019
Maintenance recommendation, not a fitment split.
Battery: A YT9B-BS figure appears for 'Streetfighter 1100 V4 ABS (2020-2021)'
bikerrated.com battery chart
Outweighed by the Yuasa application guide row plus ~6 independent retailers agreeing on YT7B-BS; recorded for transparency.
DIY & your warranty
Doing this yourself won't void your factory warranty. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act bars a manufacturer or dealer from voiding your warranty just because you — not the dealer — did routine maintenance. To deny a claim they must prove the specific work caused the specific defect. Use spec-compliant parts and fluids, and keep your receipts.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 maintenance FAQ
How much oil does the Ducati Streetfighter V4 take?
About 3.4 litres with a filter change — the manufacturer's with-filter figure, not the larger dry-rebuild number that circulates online. Confirm against your owner's manual.
What oil does the Ducati Streetfighter V4 need?
It calls for 15W-50, JASO MA2, API SN. A wet clutch means the JASO class matters — don't substitute an energy-conserving car oil.
What brake pads fit the Ducati Streetfighter V4?
The front caliper (Brembo Stylema monobloc M4.30 4-pot radial) takes EBC shape FA447HH. Pads are resolved by caliper and year, not by model name, so verify your caliper before you order.
How often does the Ducati Streetfighter V4 need an oil change?
Every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, per the manufacturer's schedule. Shorten it after track days — used-oil analysis is the only rigorous answer to how much.
