i think he meant for FZ16. (Stock replacement means is of e same size of original filter element. jus take out e original stock one n replace wif BMC.

[mezan]

Apis2022, can you check whether the filter is 100% fit or they have to modify it?

 

Ridehard, i used my bike almost everyday liao... For work, school and transportation.

Mezan, BMC one should be like open air box, take out the stock sponge, then put the BMC filter in and screw back the airbox.

As what RideHard says, its for FZ16.

In terms of 100% fit or modify, im waiting for Unique's reply. (:

 

update: okay. Unique's replied and told me its 100% fit. direct replace from the stock (which is under the seat). hope this helps.

bro, i went for my first servicing at hong leong. I was talking to the manager there. He recommended me to use the fully synthetic. His reason was since my engine has already gone through the running in phase, it can already be 'whacked'. So using the fully syn eo will provide better protection and lubrication in the engine systems. He also told me that since im using fully syn, can come back on 5000km for 2nd servicing instead of 3000km.

dont rush into fully sync oil since your bike just run in only, use semi ones and change again at every 1000km till your mileage about 3k to 4k before you go into fully sync, it will help the engine to have more oil change before it hits 5k mileage. just my opinion.

i agree. i did oil change 800km, 1500km, 3000km. its ur bike. just how u wanna feel abt it! anyway, just change at 3000km. 5000km is quite far apart from 1000km. a difference of 4000km can whack ur engine. especially when u start hitting avg 90km/h!

[Motornoob]

Thanks for the advice pikapika & a.k.47! I'll do just that...but..then again..whats the rational behind changing more frequently despite using a fully syn eo? Just need some enlightenment.. thankx

COST! Since fz16 got oil filter, full sync oil can last much longer than semi sync and mineral, so if u plan to change frequently, it will be a waste of money.

suggest you go for 1 more round of 500km to 800km of cheap mineral oil to continue to give your engine a good run in (speed below 80km), then switch to semi sync for the next 1000km X 2 (speed below 90km) before you try full sync.

Oil change for new engine helps to flush out all the dirt and impurities.

A full sync oil can last at least 3000km to 5000km. buy mineral at about $6 or less at LAB and semi sync should cost you about $10. note that during the first 5k of your mileage, using mineral and semi sync will do you more gd in the long run with frequent change of oil. enjoy your ride.

hi guys, thx for ur inputs so far.. wish to hear more comin if anyone care to share.

Dis EO discussion is directly of course, referring to our FZ16 usage n capacity.

I started asking dis question as I've forgotten what EO/motor oil grades stands for, labelled onto e pet bottles. Eg: SAE, 20W/40 n etc.... geez!

[RideHard]

I like his idea. hehe
