Excess engine oil will flow through your breather tube and down to the drain pipe. But too much could cause the seals and gaskets in your oil sink and gearbox to leak.

sometime hard to kick gear is also becos engine oil too much. got to top the correct amount

[pickyvan]

my god..no wonder my engine has oil stain after some riding ... must be due to too much engine oil. This is the amount recommended by the bike shop at BB....

[cashcard923]

i use Mobil 1 full sythetic. Still change every 3000 miles.

[kktan]

mobil one fully synthetic for cars??? serious?

[AmmoTyr]

As per topic.

My S4 reached 6k travelling distance liao. Pple used to tell me to change at abt 5k to 10k.

 

 

Wat engine oil to use? I nvr change before.

[royong]

similar to wat u use for ur car. except that u hv to use those meant for bikes.

 

some use fully syn, some use semi syn, some mineral oil. bascially, the better grade of oil u use the longer period of time it will stay stable.

 

for my case, I'm using esso gold. change around 7-8k km.

[Kinetic]

ppl say

semi synthetic - 3000km change

fully synthetic - 5000km change

oil filter change with every engine oil change

air filter and plugs change with every 10000km

 

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

 

for me, i ride vtec1, engine oil i use esso pace $9. even though semi synthetic but every 5000km i change. ok for me leh.. not much difference.. but i dun wack like mad la.. original honda oil filter, original honda ngk plugs (red package), original honda air filter. FC 22+km/l

 

so every 5000km i change engine oil and oil filter

every 10000km i change whole set. engine oil, oil filter, plugs, air filter.

 

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

 

alot of brands on market la.. see ur own preference lo.. but i use esso pace cuz popular..

[MiCmAsTa]

Motul 300V, Fuch Silkolene, BP Vistra, Delphi, Pace, Maxima, Total, Castrol Gold, Mobil... etc....

 

I used to feed my S4 with Fuch Silkolene and BP Vistra. If you ask me, I prefer BP Vistra.

[AmmoTyr]

Ok ... thanks to the bros that responded ...

High time for me to change engine oil. Hit 6k ++ liao. Dont want my baby to get sick.

[Kinetic]

no prob! take care of ur baby n ur baby will serve u well!

[FreDz]

Motul 5100 semi-syn.. was what my friend recommended.. not bad IMO.

[raven77]

i been using total from carrfour cost $4.70 each for 4 yrs aleady not bad for a semi- syn ..

 

Change every 3000km.

[ralliart_ray]

can check the component listing for the price... I oso dont know much about EO. I used vistra b4 only... Use good or cheaper kind, to me... like no diff leh...

[winstonz]

two oil change i been using motul 300v. dunno whats the diff between semi n full sync. engine feels rougher, hotter or anything? motul300v cost about 20 to 22 range ba, compare to those less than 10 range, does it damage the engine??
