I found interesting that the 2018 and newer GW's have three oil drain plugs and two oil filters. The traditional oil filter which is the same part number as the previous models. The second oil filter is for the DCT which is a small paper filter which requires an O-Ring. I am attaching a link to Fred Harmon's Video on changing oil on the new wings. I found it helpful and I also ordered several of the O-Rings he suggested.

I ordered the DCT filter and O-Ring from mrcycles.com

Yes, changing oil and filter on the new Gen 3 will be different. I plan on changing and oil and filters at 4,000 miles but I was told be my tech that the tranny filter only needs to be changed at 18,000 after the initial change. I can't get anyone to respond on this site since I haven't paid the 99 bucks so I don't know that for sure. Lots of great videos on Youtube about the Gen 3 Wing with lots of good information. Cruiseman Videos are the best. I love my new Gen 3 and now that I've dumped that lousy windshield and found a way to activate my Sirius XM without buying and paying to install that antenna I enjoy it even more. Not sure why accessories for those models are so high and why much isn't available, but I guess time will tell. The love the DCT and how it shifts, even though my teach hates the new models. Enjoy your ride. I know I sure plan to.
