My fren's wave 110 got indication 650ml on the engine oil tank.

I use 700ml.

Tried 800ml once but felt sluggish.

My theory is that when the oil is heated up, it needs space to expand.

So when too much, no room for expansion. Thats why the moving parts get "heavy" due to the excess oil.

ya, shouldn't pour in 1L. when heated up, the pressure inside the engine is very great, and could stress the sealings in the engine. Like those very old bike, when you rev high, the pressure build-up feels like it's going to rip the pipes and vessels apart, cos the seals are not strong already.

How do you dispose your oil when you change? Once I took it to a motordiam, he don't want to accept!

[realdean]

Since its less than 1 litre, i normally put in plastic bag, double the plastic, wrap tightly n throw it in the dustbin.

No problem. It's cause I have use Motul 3000+ 20W50 before bought from Johor. It last me only abt 1K km. Dat 3000+ is a mineral.
