Like that how sia...yeah i agree my bike feels abit heavy now..but somehow i feel the engine smoother.. The mech pur the 4t bottle till empty sia.. I oso dunno wat to say..

Never mind la.

 

Quote form Elf FAQ

 

"A small amount of the oil that circulates in the engine is always burnt (an engine in good condition consumes between 0.2 and 0.5 liters of oil every 1,000 kilometers), but successive top-ups are no substitute for an oil change."

hey, I have a question, how often u guys top up ur engine oil?? how to check if engine oil enough or not?? the dip stick must screw in and screw out to check the level or just measure without screwing in?? then the dipstick range is at the lowest point(the flat part) or the round part?? cos I 2 mths nv top up le, going to change engine oil this sat... I used to ride SP, engine oil dun need to change as much as wave... =)

[lost_soul]

take out the dipstick and clean with cloth

after that dip in and take out (no need to screw in)

if got oil at the end dipstick, means enough oil

 

i think so...

icic, thanks... I think my engine oil low, I check le, nv screw in no oil, screw in then got oil... must faster go top up le, I scare my piston effected...

if u gg to top up this sat, then at least just get some EO from any petrol kiosk and top up a bit. 4 stroke bikes, EO v impt one...

[FrdAuZ]

Nabei sia...now my engine area full of oil..like the oil spill out dunno from where... i think too much EO..

wave's engine oil not pour in the whole bottle meh? cos i sometimes notice the mech pour in the whole bottle. cos i see the tilting the whole bottle upside down to ensure all the oil is in. they oso dun use the bottle side to gauge the oil level. ani one wif manual care to share?

[stRobe]

I pour in whole bottle (1L) too.

 

Cos i dont have anything to measure how much e.o. im pouring in (bottle got no markings)

 

Anw I think its better to pour in more than less, right?

[jiachen85]

From my knowledge, engine too much or not enough engine oil no good for engine... too much will have excess pressure for ur engine, not very good, too little, very little lub in the engine, wear and tear faster... must be just nice...

[thepunkz]

i check it out already. from my fren wave manual if i not wrong its 0.7l.(if i not wrong) cos the manual not clear on the info. so y0s bikey is right.

[aikau]

so to say we put 700-750 is the most appropriate measurement rite

wave r n s all same quantity rite bros.

 

thanks

most people wont reccomend it... but also... it wont kill your engine for sure....

 

no harm doing it for 1 month... then next time you change oil... remember to get the container of the remaining oil....
