Steps to Change Motorbike Oil

1. Warm Up the Engine

2. Locate the Drain Plug

Position the drain pan under the plug.

remove the plug.

Let the oil drain completely.

4. Clean the oil filter (optional)

Locate the oil filter (the filter is just beneath the oil drain nut). It is a small white plastic sieve

It can be removed with your hand (in most cases it will fall off when you remove the oil drain nut).

After cleaning it with petrol, return it before reinstalling the oil drain nut

5. Reinstall the Drain Plug

Once the oil has drained, clean the drain plug and its threads.

Reinstall the plug and tighten it securely. Use your hands always.

Once you reach the end with your hands, use your wrench to achieve just a little tightness. DO NOT apply too much force

6. Add New Oil

Use a funnel to pour in the recommended amount of new oil. 1 Liter of Motorol Magic 4T is enough.

Check the level with the dipstick ensuring it’s within the recommended range.

7. Check for Leaks

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.

Check around the drain plug for leaks.

Pour the used oil into a sealed container.
