Thank you so much for detailed video specially showing the after effects of pouring engine oil. Kudos!

Nice video though why didn't you open the extreme front chamber drain nut. It is essential as 100-150 ml of left over oil stays in this portion of the chamber which is only drainable from that nut.

Ur right bro

[@bollywoodonly1955]

I heard if one opens the third bolt...then one has to use 2.75 litre engine oil. Is it true ? Please confirm

[@pankajghimire1303]

I am an owner of Yamaha FZ V2 . I have been using MOTUL 3000 4T plus 20w40 mineral grade oil on my bike . The performance is better than that of recommend engine oil AKA yamalube mineral . Heating is reduced and engine becomes pretty smooth with this oil . It exceeds the requirements demanded by the manufacturer The minimum requirements are API SJ and JASO MA Whereas MOTUL's rating are as follows API SM JASO MA2 . So guies who ride FZ V2 just dump the yamalube , go for this oil and feel the difference

[@agnelocrasto1155]

Beautifully explained...thank you

[@lifethejourney9423]

🙏🙏🙏

[@santoshrajagopalan616]

Excellent video! One more thing: after you change the oil leave the bike in idle for about 10 minutes so that the new oil spreads around the moving parts of the engine. Also you could try adding an oil additive when you do the oil change. There are a few good brands of additive like 3M

[@lifethejourney9423]

Thanks for the inputs brother, appreciated.

[@gsriderktdbullet2630]

Very good information thanks

[@jamesrynghang1469]

Very good video but if you include the price of the oil and accesories it's would be of great help. Good job

[@lifethejourney9423]

Brother price is fluctuating as per grade and viscosity, but 3000 one is costing round about Rs.1200 approx 2.5 ltr.

[@jamesrynghang1469]

[@punuda]

There is a bolt in the opposite side of the engine, what if I put my engine oil through that? Is there anything to worry about? My local mechanic did that.

[@lifethejourney9423]

That is not the proper way, oil will not get filtered. At the time of changing the E oil, oil has be gone through the filtration process, that's why each time of E oil change we also change the filter.

Thanks.

Bhai please reply as soon as you see this comment. As some people pointed out that you didn't open the third bolt and you replied to someone that if one opens that bolt(third one) then one has to use 2.75 litres of oil.However, on OWNERS MANUAL its recommended that 2.75 litres of oil should be used in the FIRST FILL ONLY and in the subsequent fills one has to use 2.30-2.50 litres of engine oil. Please confirm, if i open the third bolt(the one u didn't open) then how much engine oil i have to use ? P.s: it's morning now, I will be changing oil in the afternoon,so it will be very much appreciated if you can reply as soon you see my comment. Thank you.

Bro if you open the third bolt then you have to pour 2.75 to 2.9 L oil.
