How To Change The Oil On A Honda CRF230F

[@oherroprease207]

All these people are complaining about cleaning the oil filter yet that's probably the deepest you'll ever have to dig into the bike. I've owned my 250 2 stroke for 3 years now and I've had to tear into the engine multiple times for one thing or another. Work on a motocross bike is never ending. whereas this bike I change the oil, clean the chain, replace the brake fluid and tires every so often and thats all it ever needs. I never have to worry about my 150f or 230f having problems

[@PrimalMiltos]

OK but there is no reason not too have a spinoff disposable filter.

[@maxstephen5811]

I have a crf230f and I was wondering what the ohc cover torque is. Thanks

[@jacobisaacs6187]

Also track your bolt lengths. There are 3 different lengths of the bolts when reassembling. Didnt notice that until it was to late…

[@mostlyhydrogenated7966]

Not sure what all years apply but on a 2003 CRF230F, the two gaskets you need are: (#2) 11393-KGA-900 (found in Right Crankcase Cover schematic) and (#9) 15459-KWK-900 (found in Oil Pump schematic).

Underrated comment good looks

[@scott96999]

Comment should be pinned. Cheers!

[@LOWCOUNTRYDIY]

Perfect info, thanks!

[@honda8192]

Wow I’ve completely built my Crf230f exterior wise with all the parts from your website and would love for you guys to add more videos about it

[@imranhashim7126]

How much oil require for the engine? 1 liter or above?

[@Marshall006]

Imran Hashim do you not know how to look up a owners manual, most of the time they come with a bike but if not, just look one up it should be free or a few bucks at most(just make sure it’s your model)

[@MrTeachersalas]

Hello. This video is awesome, thanks for sharing. I wa t to know how much oil I should add when changing thanks

[@rmatvmc]

We added 1.1qts oil. Be sure to check your owners manual for the specific amount of fluid.

[@MrTeachersalas]

@@rmatvmc thanks a lot

[@cw5733]

I guess the dislikes are the people who do not have oil or gaskets. Cool video.

[@78FullSizeBronco]

This made my decision to get a ttr230 over a crf230! Yamaha oil change doesn't require you to take the case off to get to the filter and uses a traditional element oil filter.

[@bobhaddick2127]

78FullSizeBronco sadly the honda is still running, while your TTR230 probably runs like shit.

[@coltdunn9581]

It's a Honda just change it every 10 years you'll be good

[@Jayden07]

😂 got that right lol

[@jayveebikelife8302]

🤣😂😂😂

[@KUBBI7488]

LOL

[@bastianpate-uc5hd]

Funny my first bike was a xr 250 and I was a teenager and didn't know nothing about bikes and I didn't change the oil for almost a year. After changing it I never had a problem with the bike. It was a great bike never had a problem.

[@paolodibello5991]

Quick question, does this filter ever need to be replaced? Or just cleaned every 1200m? I just bought this bike used and am considering changing the filter out. Love your videos.

[@Noah-ud6fj]

This is why I love 2 strokes

[@tjgrech879]

Great video thanks.

[@trjb1767]

Thanks for posting. Very helpful

[@rmatvmc]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@zachoryjamnik5605]

That's seems like a ton of work just to change oil

[@JordanPeverelli]

For anyone in pain about the oil filter job, my 2008 CRF230f manual says nothing about doing anything to the oil filter in the oil change section so.

[@78FullSizeBronco]

This is why I went with a TTR230, don't have to take the case off to clean the oil filter! Just 3 bolts and it comes out, I don't know what Honda was thinking with this centrifugal filter design, not very convenient at all!

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Does your o ring swell up??

[@Durataur]

Lol you posted this twice. Once a year before this comment.

[@MunsKi]

what... i didnt know that you have to open the inside..... thanks haha

[@omarlobos9278]

Love the video.thank you...

[@ericlinnell3073]

I'm not sure if it was a design change or a mistake at the factory but my 2017 filler cap doesn't have a dip-stick on it

[@rmatvmc]

*Eric Linnell* Do you have an aftermartket oil fill cap on your bike? I am showing that all years in the crf230's come with a dipstick style oil fill cap. Check out our OEM Diagrams here: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-parts/Honda Did you purchase the bike new or used?

[@ericlinnell3073]

I bought it brand new from Bangor motorsports in Maine. I always thought it was strange as there was no sight glass. I'll probably order one from you guys soon.

[@SeanHiggins731]

Eric Linnell - Hey no way I was going to get a 2019 from there in July! I ended up riding up to Mars Hill and picking up a lightly used 2017 230f for $1300 less than what I’d pay out the door there. By the way, my 2017 has a dipstick on it.

[@ka4172]

for ride as a dual sport how often is oil change recommended for a crf 230?

[@unrivaledtrip___8221]

Can you guys do a video on how to fix a stripped out screw in aluminum.. I have two of them in the valve cover on my 2004 CRF 230F

[@huntercampbell765]

Do you guys have a video on replacing the clutch on a 2019 crf230f?

[@jacobisaacs6187]

Why do you have to use contact cleaner? Will brake parts cleaner have the same effect? Or does it have to be contact cleaner since its being sprayed directly into the pump?

[@davidianson1182]

I think brake kleen would count as contact cleaner in this case

[@hardtrance9]

What if you don't change the gaskets in a while? what could happen? Contact cleaner can be WD40?

[@rmatvmc]

*Hector Perez* oil will start to leak, will eventually stop sealling. WD40 works great. Just be sure to wash off the residue with WD40 as dirt likes to cling to it. Thanks for watching!

[@user-zt2cc7qq9b]

What exactly did they do on the centrifugal clutch? Just clean it?

[@sagesmith3947]

What size of socket did you use? For the skid plate.

[@rmatvmc]

*Sage Smith* Haha, good one! :)

[@fizzytorkoal]

Do i have to torque it to 11 foot pounds? i did it for the first time yesterday, and was not aware i should torque it

[@nathanchapman2480]

I just bought a Honda crf230f and i took it apart and found dirt in the casing of the engine what can i use to get that out do i have to take the entire engine off and clean it of is there a spray that can help me get that stuff off

[@lez259]

I pulled out my oil strainer screen and it was all dented and munted.........is this cause for concern?

[@gregrichard1162]

I loosened to all the bolts, but the right side engine cover won't come off. What should I do?

[@rmatvmc]

*Greg Richard* If you have followed the steps in our video, you're ready to remove the right engine case cover. If it's giving you some grief, you can tap it with a rubber mallet to loosen it up. It could be stuck on with the gasket and the rubber mallet will help break the seal. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks

[@gregrichard1162]

Rocky Mountain ATV MC worked like a charm. Just needed some "encouragement." Thanks a lot for the quick reply. 53 seconds is 10/10 customer service!

[@rmatvmc]

*Greg Richard* - We're happy to help. Thanks for the question. I'm sure other guys will be running into this same issue and will see your question. So, thanks again!

@@rmatvmc will do, thanks sir, cheers 🤘🏽💯🕊️♻️🌍

[@calebferris876]

What oil should I order for this? I usually take to my dealer but want to try for myself

[@rmatvmc]

Honda recommends Pro-Honda GN4 10w-30 oil. We have a kit available that will come with everything you need to change your oil here: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-4-stroke-oil-change-kit-p

[@vladthedude7231]

Do I have to replace every casket I see😫😫

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Well Honda recommend that you do. Mechanics wouldn't if they were OK and not broken.

[@chavycash2518]

Is this the same on a 2006 crf230f?

[@braydontowns2424]

where did you get the graphics for the bike?! i ride a 230 and have never found custom graphics

[@rmatvmc]

These are the graphics we used on this bike: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/attack-graphics-custom-havoc-complete-bike-graphics-kit-p We've also done a complete build video on this 230F if you want to check that out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYSTgaSofphrn7M

[@fmtnic]

Where can I purchase RMMC ATV decals/Graphics kits? I see them averywhere but can;t find them on your website.

[@rmatvmc]

If you enter your bike's info on our parts finder and scroll down to the graphics section, it will show the attack graphics/Rocky Mountain graphics we have for your bike. What are you riding?

[@fmtnic]

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. You guys are really doing an awesome job. I visit the US a few times a year and you are my go to website for parts and accesories. The youtube content is amazing as well. Keep up the great work. Ive got an old 06 KTM450EXC .

[@ajwebb1837]

Can I just have you change it 🤣

[@sagesmith3947]

Oh. Okay thanks😂👍

[@trumpforever2454]

Do you really have to replace the O ring?

[@cjanonimo3969]

Então posso colocar 1 litro e 100ml de óleo na minha CRF 230f?

[@rmatvmc]

Sim, pode. Esta moto toma 1 litro de oleo

[@downsouthsquonks4020]

Can you please tell me where I can find a filter gasket that you replaced in the video at 4:06? Its for a 2019 Honda crf230f.

[@joshjensen101]

www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-schematic/73 I believe it is number 9 on this drawing.

[@downsouthsquonks4020]

@David DDMdid i ask you?

[@brandonasselstine1163]

Is this the same as the 230L

[@themotofixery]

What an awful design! Does the 230L have the same filter?

[@themotofixery]

Yes it does! Never buying another f*king honda!

[@jesse8721]

Can you please tell me what torque wrench you are using that can torque @ 3.6 ft/#'s & 7 ft/#'s ... even the 1/4" drive doesn't go that low ??? I need to do all this to my crf230f and need the tools

[@rmatvmc]

The only torque wrench we carry that can do torque values that low is the www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/fixt-products-pro-torque-t-handle-p . You can also find a torque wrench that's in inch pounds and just do the conversion for what you need in ft. lbs.

[@WillyD1]

YeAh I am complaining what a shitty design wow should have got a ttr the thing is it’s 2019 why not just have a regular oil filter like everyone else

[@austinn_6161]

Woah I have looked everywhere but I can’t find where I asked for your opinion

[@Erlov71]

What a pain. Easier on a 450

[@sagesmith3947]

Ok, nevermind... 🤨

[@rmatvmc]

*Sage Smith,* you were referring to min 1:08 yes? Thought you were joking because we used our hand. The bolt that holds the oem skid plate on will be an 8mm. Thanks for watching.

[@1800pouned]

Yeah nevermind is right. I dont just have tools ready for this. Its not just that easy for me to go online just to order a thin gasket film everytime i change the oil. Buying things online is a big ordeal for me and my family. Something always goes wrong and who wants to wait for something in the mail like that just to change the oil on a bike that's rediculous.

[@SuperCyril2]

This makes me not want to purchase this bike.

[@danb2]

This is ridiculous lol for a oil change ? Just change the damn oil
