ENGINE OIL CHANGE @3000 km ON THE ROYAL ENFIELD HIMALAYAN - A DETAILED YET PRECISE WALK THROUGH

So i get the bike washed and prepped for the supreme maintenance procedure of them all - THE OIL CHANGE . This is crucial if you belong to the RIDE HARD category that you change the oil&oil filters on time . i personally change @3000kms mark , period. my HIMALAYAN has done 25,000 kms on the MOTUL 5100 and i very strongly recommend it .
key points to consider -
#PARK motorcycle on a LEVEL SURFACE
#change oil after about 1-3 minutes of idling on a cold start.
#change oil after about 2-3 hours of rest after a long ride .
#remove oil from the drain plug first and then from the inspection screen area to avoid spillage
#inspect wire screen/mesh for metal debris . too much metal or gunk in there will indicate something wrong inside the transmission.
#try to rejuvenate the rubber O-Rings by pressing on then repeatedly for a better seal .
#tilt the bike towards you to extract as much old oil as possible
#remove the oil filter cap partially and let the oil pour out first . then remove the three bolts from bottom up.
#pour about 50 milli litres of new oil into the new oil filter before installing
#tighten bolts again in bottom up order.
#hand tighten all the bolts and then a 1/4 of a turn with the specific tool ought to do in most cases.
#pour in 1.5 litres into the transmission and let the engine idle for 1-2 minutes .
#check the oil level on inspection window and add accordingly .
#BEST TO FILL UP TO HIGHER LEVEL on the inspection window.
#1.6 - 1.8 ltrs is the range that you can fill up depending on how much old oil you have managed to extract.
#collect old oil and give it to your local mech for recycling.

Thorough and well paced, this is the best Himalayan oil change "how to" on YT. At first I wondered about you not changing the o-rings, gasket, and crush washer then you mentioned how availability is an issue. Going over how to evaluate and maintain them when you can't replace them is an important point that is usually not covered. Lastly, covering the amount of oil consumption is immensely helpful and, again, not usually covered. Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial.

I'm interested in the new Scram 411 (which I'm guessing has an identical oil change procedure) and I stumbled across this video... Can I just compliment you on this excellent production? The care with which you clean and check the O rings and gaskets reinforces my belief that a bike that is so well cared for always looks after its owner! Obviously liked and subscribed :)

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Thank you for the kind words Nick . Glad that you noticed the details . And yes the oil change procedure is identical on both , in fact the engines have no mechanical components changed in the new scram.

[@CharlesHuse]

A trick to consider on your o-rings... on older automatic transmissions on cars, I have heard to put a little bit of brake fluid into the transmission fluid. As it circulates, it will get on to all the o-rings. The rubber in the o-rings will absorb it and swell slightly and reseal whatever they are meant to seal. It does not take much, a couple of capfuls into your fluid reservoir, and it will eventually dilute into the transmission fluid. For the purposes of this video, just take a couple of drops on your finger and wet the o-ring seals while you are draining the oil from the engine. Also, while you are running the engine to warm the oil prior to changing it, that is a good time to clean and lube your chain.

[@joegarrison8611]

Good job Ben. Here in the states quite a few of us run a full synthetic oil as we normally run a bit higher RPMs. There is also an additional drain plug near the front of the engine. Not everyone uses it as it’s placement is a pain in the a$$ to place a drain spout such as your cardboard. Again, a very good job Ben.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Hi Joe. yes that's because of the kind of roads you have there. our national highways have more traffic than your city roads . Its an adventure every single day here . also the third drain bolt lets out about 50 -100 mls which can be collected from the main drain bolt if you lift the front up ( bike resting on you side stand) . i do that regularly . didn't want to show that on video as enthusiastic novices ( too many out there ) here will find themselves in trouble if they get it wrong.

[@joegarrison8611]

ON TWO WHEELS BEN Well if my calculations are correct you only have 5.7B people more than we do and of course the animals. So yeah, I can see a bit more traffic. 👍🏽. Have a good day Ben.

I am actually thinking about upgrading my BS6 and I see that you're very knowledgeable. Would you say that the £1000 pounds for powertronic, free flow filter and exhaust, chain and sprocket upgrade is worth it? Is there a big difference with cruising speed/acceleration/fuel consumption? Thank you so much for the videos, I've learned so much!

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

yes together they account for faster acceleration, better throttle response and higher cruising speeds. and if you get the tuning right ( depending on how invested you are in the process) you are looking at an additional power gains of 3-5 bhp.

Should one check the oil level immediately after switching off the ignition? In my Himalayan the oil level hovers inbetween the two marks for a minute or less, then it rises way above

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

3-5 mins on level ground.

[@deveshsharma_mountainshrink]

How important is to clean the strainer, I seriously doubt if they did that on my first service. I couldn't keep an eye on them. And above that the engine oil level is way above the maximum mark having checked it multiple times exactly as per the instructions (idle for 2-3 minutes and wait for the window to fill up on a flat surface)..

Remove excess oil from the oil filter side . Cleaning the strainer is important but not a game changer if you haven’t .

Thanks for another great video Ben 😁 I have a query which is half off topic of this, regarding engine flush. I am planning to flush my bike once it reaches 30K KMs. My concern is the sump is 2.3 liter and the drain amount is less so around 500 ml is still in there so the flush mixed oil will be there even after draining. How to deal with it ? Or to run cheap 15W50 for 10-15 mins drain it n put the oil we want ? One more request will you make a list of tools with sizes needed for Himalayan or you can make a seperate video for that as per your time.

Although you didn't do any such thing, neither did I!! Are we taking too much of a chance???. Well on a positive note nothing is leaking.

[@akshaykarvi2096]

Sir can I use full synthetic oil, is it better than semi synthetic oil?

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Of course .

[@neihudzuvichu2311]

Wats the exact amount of Engine oil that himalayan needs while changing...... So confusing some says 2.3 litre, some says 2 litre and 1.8 litre..... Please help

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

drain oil till the last drop by opening the inspection window (wire mesh screen). Tilt the bike both sides to get everything out . Then fill till 3/4th of the sight window.

How much engine oil do you put?? 2litter or 2.5 litter??

Bro I have been contemplating about buying this bike for a while now . In my research, i found more cons than pros . Took a test ride but that isn't enough to take a call . How long have you had this bike and would you recommend this to someone who wants a reliable touring machine ? Cheers

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Veljon Noronha Yes the bike has manufacturing issues far greater than the Japanese counterparts. But once understood & sorted out, it’s the best machine out there for the budget . A True jack of all trades .

[@abhinav7928]

And bro.... What's the best rev range to upshift?

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

For a good carbon free engine shift upwards of 3 k rpm. The engine is happiest @ a steady 4500-5500 RPMs .

[@dudepompey]

Can we use wd40 for cleaning of that mesh?

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Yes . Then dry it completely before putting it back

[@sathiyafoodtravelvlogs7756]

i liked video and superb and useful bro..bro just for request pls any chance you upload to tamil language also bro..

Hi, I am considering to buy a motorcycle and Royal Enfield is my first, however I am little confused between classic 350 and Himalayan. I have to take such bikes which I can do in day today life, this is my first bike and can also go on tour. Whose maintenance cost is not too much and mileage is also good.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

350 standard is best for city and highway (occasional ). 350 is a pure city motorcycle because of the seat design . and himalayan is just not a city friendly motorcycle.

[@praveenKumar-sn7wy]

Hi RE classic 350 How many kilometres will change engine oil..plzz tell

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

3000 kms

[@dudepompey]

Where do we RE oil filter?

1.8

[@ranjithr3348]

Sir motul 300v oil can use in Himalayan 2021

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Yes 15w50

[@garyives1218]

Uummmm.........I just did my 300 mile change and the filter cover did not have an O-ring ? ! The gasket had the flat (case side) and the cover side had a slighty raised ridge where the O-ring would be....so I guess that works? Thanks for vid.

[@garyives1218]

I looked into this and it appears the gasket was introduced as a replacement or alternative to the O-ring. I guess it's not necessary to use both, but is it of this groups opinion that it's better to do so? Thanks

[@scottm4559]

If extend himalayn oil drain interval to 5k is it fine

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Only if you live in cold weather and you don’t have a habit of wringing the throttle every time you get a chance or longs hours of high rpm rides

[@deepakwarrier612]

Is it better to change the engine oil n filter at every 3000kms..? What kms do we change fork oil n all ..

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Engine oil at 3-5 k kilometers. Fork oil at 10-12 k kilometers. Brake fluids at 8-10 k kilometers.

[@aakashnair9577]

Sir how to dispose the waste engine oil?

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Give it to local mechs in use engine oil cans . They will give it to the right people

[@shishupalchaudhary6462]

Bhai, alternatively you can also remove spark plug and crank the engine 3-4 seconds by pressing power button for 3-4 times. Don't over do it ... Surely some 50ml oil will come out .

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

sorry to disagree dear Shishupal , but one should never remove the spark plug and crank without first CLEANING THE ENTIRE AREA THOROUGHLY. The inward suction of air will pull in all the dirt in the plug well into the combustion chamber . this is not a recommended practice (especially in an offload used machine) .

[@0xsergy]

Not worth doing bearing damage for 50ml. Just put fresh fluid, you'll never drain everything anyway. At most tip it on center stand as far as you can hold it.

[@subodhr7729]

Whats the mileage tht ur bike gives??? My bike gives only 25km/ l.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Subodh R if it’s a BS4 and you ride hard then that’s a very good mileage

[@petittrainguernsey3297]

Why are you shaking the oil bottles? All that does is create air bubbles. No need to shake.

[@wserickson3717]

Im a big fan of Himalaya and gonna buy next month for sure. So one question regarding about the oil change.. It is compulsory to change after 3000 kms ride? Or even before that.. Please do let me know

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

totally depends on how you ride . if you are a gentle rider then you can have drain intervals 5000-8000 kms also . if you are aggressive on your throttle changing at 3000 is a good idea.
