The 2008 Yamaha YZ450F is a competition motocross motorcycle with a 449 cm³ liquid-cooled, four-stroke, five-valve engine and kick starter. Its published specifications vary by market, so identify the motorcycle’s model code before relying on a specification or ordering parts. Yamaha’s factory service manual is the primary reference for maintenance; the available parts fiche shows an oil-filter category but does not establish a specific filter number.

Market codes and model names
Yamaha’s 2008 service manual groups models by market code, and the model name is not identical across all regions. The manual lists 2S2B for the USA and Canada, 2S2C for Europe, and 2S2E for Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. It labels the North American, Australian, and New Zealand group YZ450FX, and the European and South African group YZ450F. These labels and groupings make it important to check the code for the specific motorcycle rather than ordering from the year and name alone.

The manual’s listed dry weight of 99.5 kg applies to its displayed North American/Australian/New Zealand group; it should not be treated as a universal figure for every regional version. Consult the correct regional specifications for other dimensions or weights. The 2008 manual’s general specifications provides the regional groupings.
Oil capacity and oil-filter fitment
Oil capacity
For the regional group covered by the manual’s listed oil table—USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa—the stated engine-oil capacities are:
Rank #2
- TIPS: 1. BENT head design for easier use in some tight space; 2. OIL on product for rust protection (not used)
- Permalock fastener eliminates nut and bolt failure
- High carbon steel for strength and reliability
- Fits oil filters from 2-3/8 to 4-1/2 inches (60 to 102 millimeters) in diameter
- Soft, Nonslip Red Grips Offer Extra Reach And Leverage In Tight Places
- 0.95 L for a periodic oil change
- 1.0 L when replacing the oil filter
- 1.2 L total capacity
The same manual specifies Yamalube 4 grades and API SG or higher/JASO MA, while oil directions differ by region. Use the correct regional manual and follow its procedure; do not treat the total capacity as the routine refill amount. See Yamaha’s 2008 service-manual specifications.
Finding the correct oil filter
The 2008 Yamaha YZ450F parts fiche includes an oil-filter category, but that listing alone does not verify a filter part number, interchangeability, current stock, or price. Before buying, match the part number to the motorcycle’s market code or VIN in a reliable model-specific fiche or with a Yamaha dealer. A listing that merely says “2008 YZ450F” is not enough to establish fitment.
Rank #3
- FITMENT - Fit for 1984-2021 Harley Spin-On Oil Filters (Except '15-Later XG)
- USAGE - Easy of Use for installation and removal of oil filter. The oil filter wrench has a largecut out in order to clear thecrank position sensor area
- Drive - 3/8" drive or 7/8" socket wrench
- HIHG-QUALITY - Made of heavy-duty steel for strength and durability. Surface is painted to prevent corrosion for long life
- NOTE - Please check your motorcycle model before ordering.
Where to find service information
Use Yamaha’s 2008 YZ450F(X) Owner’s Service Manual as the primary reference for maintenance procedures, specifications, and region-specific directions. Start with the motorcycle’s market code, then use the matching manual information rather than assuming that a procedure or specification from another regional version applies. The manual’s general-specifications page is available through ManualsLib’s reproduction of Yamaha’s 2008 manual.
For replacement parts, use a model-specific fiche such as Rich’s Yamaha’s 2008 parts diagrams, and confirm the exact application before ordering. A fiche identifies assemblies and categories; it does not by itself confirm that a particular item is in stock or compatible with every market version.
