Wear Parts & Consumables
This is the shopping-list reference for the 2000 Honda GL1500 SE Gold Wing: every fluid, filter, seal, washer, and wear part that gets replaced on a schedule or by condition, with part numbers, specs, quantities, and intervals in one place. It is a consolidation of the per-system files. Where a value is discussed in more depth elsewhere, the linked file is the authority, and intervals follow Maintenance Schedule, Fluids & Capacities.
Part numbers: Honda supersedes part numbers over time, and a few of the numbers below are single-source. Always confirm by VIN on a live OEM fiche (Partzilla / CMSNL / Cyclemax / GoldwingParts) before ordering. Anything not fully verified is flagged ⚠️.

2. Fluids & Lubricants
2.1 Engine oil
| Item |
Spec |
| Capacity, drain only |
3.5 L (3.7 US qt, 3.1 Imp qt) |
| Capacity, oil + filter |
⚠️ ≈ 3.7 L (≈ 3.9 US qt). Fill by the sight glass / dipstick, not by volume. |
| Viscosity |
SAE 10W-40 (per the manual's temperature chart) |
| Grade |
API SE/SF/SG or higher; JASO MA/MA2 motorcycle oil for the wet clutch |
| Avoid |
Automotive "energy conserving" / friction-modified oils (clutch slip) |
| Interval |
12 mo / 12,000 km (8,000 mi); more often for short trips or cold climates |
| Drain bolt torque |
35 N·m (25 ft·lb), new washer |
The engine oil also lubricates the clutch, transmission, and electric reverse. Shared sump, so oil quality matters more than on a car.
2.2 Coolant
| Item |
Spec |
| Capacity |
≈ 3.8 L (4.0 US qt) routine drain-and-refill; 4.1 L (4.3 US qt, 3.6 Imp qt) total system after disassembly. See Cooling System. |
| Type |
Silicate-free ethylene-glycol antifreeze, aluminum-safe (Honda Type 2 / HP coolant pre-mix is ideal) |
| Mixture |
50/50 with distilled water. Never use tap water. |
| Interval |
Every 2 years (manual: 24 mo / 24,000 km (16,000 mi)) |
- Silicates score the ceramic water-pump seal, which causes weep-hole leaks. Don't use "universal" green coolant.
- Don't mix chemistries. Flush when switching brands/colors.
2.3 Final-drive gear oil
| Item |
Spec |
| Capacity |
140 cm³ / 0.14 L (4.7 US oz) |
| Type |
Hypoid gear oil, API GL-5, SAE 80 ⚠️ grade per long-standing GL1500 spec; owners commonly use 80W-90 or synthetic 75W-90. GL-5 only, never GL-4. |
| Fill level |
To the lower edge of the fill hole, bike upright |
| Interval |
First at 18,000 km (12,000 mi) / 18 mo, then every 24,000 km (16,000 mi) / 24 mo |
| Drain bolt torque |
20 N·m (14 ft·lb) ⚠️ (one source gives 12 N·m / 9 ft·lb). See Final Drive. |
2.4 Brake & clutch fluid
| Item |
Spec |
| Type |
DOT 4 (Honda DOT 4 or equivalent) for both the linked brakes and the hydraulic clutch |
| Never use |
DOT 5 (silicone). It is incompatible with the seals. |
| Quantity to buy |
⚠️ 1 L (≈ 34 US oz) is enough for a full LBS flush plus the clutch, with spare. The linked system has more lines than a normal bike. |
| Interval |
Every 2 years. Many owners do the clutch yearly because the slave collects moisture. |
DOT 4 is hygroscopic. Buy small sealed bottles and discard opened leftovers. It strips paint and damages plastics.
2.5 Fork oil
| Item |
Spec |
| Capacity (2000, single-spring fork) |
⚠️ Left 372 cm³ (12.6 US oz) / Right 377 cm³ (12.7 US oz). The widely-quoted 320/325 cm³ figures are for the early 1988–94 fork. |
| Type |
10W fork oil: Pro Honda SS-8 or equivalent (15W for firmer damping) |
| Quantity to buy |
1 L (≈ 34 US oz) |
| Interval |
⚠️ Not on the Honda schedule. Common practice is every ~2 years / 24,000 km (16,000 mi), and always with seals. |
Drain the anti-dive units too. Old oil hides there. See Front Suspension.
2.6 Greases & pastes
| Product |
Where |
Interval |
| Honda M-77 Moly Paste, P/N 08798-9010 (supersedes Moly 60) |
Driveshaft splines, pinion-joint splines, final-drive/wheel splines. 5-pin flange: do NOT grease the pins. |
Every rear-tire change (Honda TSB) |
| Lithium grease, GC-LB type |
Steering-head bearings |
When repacking / replacing bearings |
| Silicone / brake grease (rubber-safe) |
Caliper slide pins, pad pins (sparingly), master-cylinder pivot |
Each pad change |
| Multipurpose grease |
Side-stand and center-stand pivots, brake-pedal and shift-lever pivots, cable ends |
Every major service |
2.7 Battery water (flooded battery only)
The factory battery is a flooded type. Top up with distilled water between the UPPER/LOWER marks at every inspection. AGM batteries need no electrolyte service. See §8.3.
3. Filters

10 N·m (7 ft·lb), oiled gasket |
| Interval |
Every oil change |
Location: inside the lower right cowl, behind the front wheel.
3.2 Air filters
The GL1500 has three air filters. The two small foam ones are the "forgotten filters". They crumble with age and the debris goes into the carbs or the cruise solenoids.
| Filter |

12 mo / 12,000 km (8,000 mi); sooner in dust/wet |
| Sub-air filter (secondary air / air-injection) |
17253-KT8-000 ⚠️ forum-sourced |
— |
Change with the main element ⚠️ |
| Cruise-control air filter |
36532-MN5-005 ⚠️ single-source |
— |
Schedule: "cruise control valve element", replace at 24 mo / 24,000 km (16,000 mi) |
- The main element sits under the radio shelf. See DIY Procedures §8.
- The two small filters are reached via the lower cowls and a fairing pocket. They cost a few dollars each, so do them together.
3.3 Fuel filter
| Item |
Value |
| Inline fuel filter |
16900-MG8-003 |
| Interval |
⚠️ Not printed on the owner's-manual schedule. Replace at 24,000 km (16,000 mi) / 2 years, or whenever fuel delivery is in question. |
Replace hardened fuel hoses and clamps at the same time. Use submersible-rated hose where the line sits in fuel. See Fuel System §11.
3.4 Suspension air-compressor filter & desiccant
| Item |
Value |
| Compressor intake foam filter |
⚠️ No OEM P/N found. Owners cut medium-coarse foam (lawn-mower filter material) to size. |
| Desiccant (air dryer) |
⚠️ No P/N found. Refresh the desiccant during a compressor rebuild. |
| Interval |
Schedule: clean at 12 mo, inspect the drier at each 6-month service. Treat as condition-based. |
A crumbled foam filter is the classic cause of "compressor runs but won't pump". See Rear Suspension & Air System.
4. Ignition
| Item |
Value |
| Spark plugs (×6) |
NGK DPR7EA-9 / ND X22EPR-U9 (standard) |
| Cold climate below 5 °C (41 °F) |
NGK DPR6EA-9 / ND X20EPR-U9 |

| Install |
New plug: hand-tight + ½ turn. ⚠️ Torque wrench: 12–15 N·m (9–11 ft·lb). |
| Interval |
12 mo / 12,000 km (8,000 mi) |
| Plug caps (condition-based) |
Honda 30700-KE2-942 ⚠️ (5 kΩ resistor). Replace if cracked or out of resistance spec. |
See Ignition System.
5. Timing Belts
The flat-six is an interference engine. A failed belt bends valves. Belts age-harden, so time matters more than mileage.
| Item |
Value |
| Timing belt (×2) |
Honda 14401-MN5-004 ⚠️ verify supersession |
| Aftermarket |
Gates T275; NAPA 25-250275 ⚠️; Goodyear 40275 ⚠️ |
| Tensioner adjuster (×2, optional) |
Honda 14510-MG9-008 ⚠️. Owners often rebuild or just fit new springs. |
| Honda interval |
Inspect at ~39,000 km (24,000 mi); replace at 160,000 km (100,000 mi) |
| Recommended interval |
80,000–120,000 km (50,000–75,000 mi) or 6–8 years, whichever first |
| Deflection |
⚠️ 5–7 mm (0.2–0.28 in) on the long span |
Always replace both belts. Bundle the coolant change and spark plugs with the job, since the bodywork is already off. See Engine and Maintenance Schedule.
6. Seals, Gaskets & Washers
6.1 Crush / sealing washers
Replace these every time the fastener is removed. A flattened washer leaks, and tightening harder doesn't fix it.

⚠️ Items to Verify
- Sub-air filter 17253-KT8-000 and cruise air filter 36532-MN5-005. These are forum-sourced (the cruise number is single-source). Confirm on a Honda fiche. Also confirm that the schedule's "cruise control valve element" is the same part as the cruise air filter.
- Oil filter aftermarket cross-refs (HF204/KN-204 vs HF303/KN-303). Both are commonly cited for the GL1500. Confirm fitment and clearance against the lower cowl.
- Final-drive drain-bolt washer and filler-cap O-ring part numbers. Not found. Look them up on the final-drive fiche.
- Fuel filter interval. Not printed on the owner's-manual schedule. The 2-year / 24,000 km suggestion is community practice.
- Fork oil interval. Not on the Honda schedule. The 2-year suggestion is community practice. The 372/377 cm³ capacities are also flagged in file 18.
- Brake/clutch fluid purchase quantities. These are estimates. There is no published total-system capacity.
- Brake pad part numbers. There is an MT8 vs MCA family conflict. Verify by VIN.
- Timing belt P/N 14401-MN5-004 and cross-refs. Verify the current supersession.
- Caliper seal kit 06451-GE2-405, reservoir diaphragm 45520-MM5-006, shock seal 91257-KE8-003, plug cap 30700-KE2-942, radiator cap 19045-MZ3-405. Confirm 2000-SE coverage on a fiche.
- Valve stem type (TR412 vs TR413) and tire age limit. The age limit is general guidance, not a Honda figure.
- Compressor foam filter and desiccant. No OEM part numbers were found.
- Thermostat O-ring and final-drive output seal. Part numbers not confirmed.
