If u r using normal oil, its advisable to chang every 3-5k km...

[PaLmEr]

every 5k would be advisable

[Guest aikh1an]

and dun forget to change the oil filter too after 2 or 3 time changes of engine oil

It would be better if u change oil filter & engine oil together.. Spark plug then change 2nd servicing....

My schedule is 4.5k, change oil, then plugs n oil filter every 12.5k... been maintaining this schedule on my bike 4 the past 7 yrs.. engine still going strong.., except now clutch plate wearing off liao.. no power....

[Fazli]

You haven't changed ever since you bought the bike?

 

The first oil change with a brand new filter for a new bike would be at the first 1000km. Then oil change every 5000km. Filter change every other time you go for oil change. Maintain this and you'll have your engine runnin as good as new always.

[luvpuzzle]

me riding vtec1 but using semi syn oil

not to worry, dun have, u just have to look at the side small screen to check level, straighten your bike before checking

[FunkyChicken]

but to check ur engine oil level... u need to make the bike to upright position. 3litres for oil change witout oil filter and 3.2litres with oil filter change.

[mnemonic]

Just wondering.Any of you S4 expert or in fact any bike...Issit advisable for use to stick to 1 brand of engine oil or issit ok for us to switch different brand of engine oil everytime we need to change engine oil....Any experts care to share their knowledge

Using the info u've given,

it should be 2.7L without oil filter change

2.9L with oil filter change

3.6L with engine rebuilt (That means after assembly of ur stripped engine)

 

Guess u are using Ver S ?

[darrenx]

i am riding a VerS

But then if thats the case y alot of motorshop put 3.2litres? ( make us pay more? )

Cos quite confuse regarding this...

So any1 here knows whats the actual correct amount of enigne oil need?????

Thinking of maintancing myself....pls help

3.2L should be for Vtech.

Obviously they mistook ur for a VTEC cuz of the colour or the ripping u off by saying it's actually better for ur bike, which is not.

 

If u dun believe me, check the forum for exact specs for Ver S.

Cheers !

[redname]

yah, its clear tht the shop made a mistake. ver S is 2.7 w/o oil filter & 2.9 if change oil filter

[Guest Project Honda]

Wat about PB1?

same as ver S, the info can be found on the bike itself, not sure is it the chainguard or the place where u pour in the oil

Right hand engine casing...

 

PB1, Ver R and Ver S all the same specs (99%same)
