From wat i read inbike magazines, if u use FULLY synthetic oil, change every 10,000km. If SEMI synthetic, change every 8,000km. :goodluck:

due to singapore weather, i believe the oil degrades in a shorter time.

thus we change it more often

The main reason i believe we change more often is due to the fact that our riding is mainly city type of driving; start & stop traffic which stresses the engine more, hence the engine oil degrades faster.

My own rule of thumb for 4 stroke bikes is

~3000km for mineral.

~4000km for semi synthetic.

~5000km for fully synthetic.

Be happy always :-)

5000km for fully synthetic? Sure or not? Mine 4300km the engine is shouting for help already! Some more when move very rough. Anyway my engine uses only 1 litre of engine oil. I don think mine can last until 5000km. :giddy: :giddy:

i believe it's called the drain bolt.... for that it shud cost less that $5/- for all types of bikes... so to all DIYers, next time do get a rachet spanner to open up draining....pls and pls dun just use open spanners... it just wreak the sides and risk being rounded...(more problem). i believe the KIPster wud have to go to the doctor bike for an A&E treatment. No way u'll be able to open it. So good luck!!!:thumb:

Hope this explanation of mine helps.

 

You'll want the engine oil to be thin at start-up so it'll flow easier to the engine parts. When engine runs faster and warmer, you'll want the oil to be thicker so that it wouldnt cause too much friction between the engine parts. Hence multi-graded oil is used e.g. 10W-40.

 

The 1st no (10W) represents the initial thickness of the oil, the lower it is, the thinner it'll be and vice versa. The 2nd no (40)represents the maximum thickness of the oil when the engine is hot. So, you would need to use different grades of engine oil depending on the weather of the country you'll in. For Singapore, there's no need for a grade lower than 10 for the 1st no (as our weather's warm enough for the oil to flow easily at that rate initially) but would recommend to be more than 30 for the 2nd no (due to our warm weather).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for the amount used for oil change, refer to your bike manual. For my bike, the value on the bike's engine oil cap is 2300ml. But the manual states that you must add 100ml more if oil filter is changed.

 

After you poured in the required amount,

1. start the engine for a few minutes

2. Stop the engine and wait for 3 minutes.

3. Tilt the bike upright and observe the oil level indicator and make sure it's between the H and L level.

 

From what I know, some bikeshops add in more than required amount of oil. If too much oil, your bike will feel slow.

Jus changed to Castrol 20W50,my CB1300 fly easily to 180 on the expressway. I think for big CC bike,should use thick oil as they will thin out under riding condition.

May I know from which shop you had this Castrol 20w50 and how much that cost ?

I am currently using Elf 10W40. Thanks
