@joedoole35277 жыл бұрын
One thing you may want to add to the procedure, pouring a few oz of fresh oil into the new oil filter before lubricating the gasket & installing it is always a good idea. It only takes an extra 10 seconds, and allows your bike to have less "dry time" after an oil change. If you notice the first time starting your bike after an oil change the oil pressure warning light will stay on for a couple seconds. This is because the bike is "dry" when started with a brand new (empty) oil filter and it takes a moment for the pump to cycle oil through the system and into the filter thus creating proper pressure/lubrication and turning off the oil warning lamp. If you fill your new filter with oil before installing it, the time is takes to turn the oil light off is usually no longer than on any typical first start of the day. This puts less wear on your engine components and especially on a bike that has seen or will see many many miles and years of riding every little bit of premature wear you can remove from the equation is good!

I've never filled the oil filter (not saying it's stupid or a bad idea!) and have never had an oil pressure warning. Oil changes always seem to be a polarizing topic, to each their own I suppose!

I suggest filling the oil filter with oil before installing. You will see the red oil pressure light go out almost instantly on start-up. Less time with the engine running without oil pressure. If you are careful there will be little to no oil spill from the filter. Once you start the filter on the threads the oil doesn't spill out. Just be sure to fill the filter only thru the center hole.

That is the reason why i like vertical downwards facing filters. Fill to the top, screw in instant pressure.

+BIGGZ46 From my experience engines with separate gear box (as car engines) tends to get the oil thicker by the mileage, so it's an old (car) mechanic trick to remove the filler cap to help "thicker" oil drain down easily. Motorcycle engines tends to get the oil thinner after mileage, so i don't think that there is a need to open filler cap for help an almost water viscosity oil to drain down.

Oil slides to the bottom. Turning on your engine recirculates oil, and lubes your engine.

Is gearbox oil different from engine oil in motorbikes

Most modern 4 stroke bikes use the same oil because the engine and gearbox are one unit and the same oil lubricates the whole engine and gearbox assembly. Some bikes use a different oil in each because the engine and gearbox are two units. Old British bikes for example. Some old bikes like the Triumph Trident/BSA Rocket 3 used three different oils for engine, gearbox and the primary drive chain. 2-strokes have just gearbox oil, the engine being lubricated by the 2-stroke oil added to the fuel mixture directly into the fuel tank (old MZ for example) or via a separate oil tank and pump.

NO. Do not warm up your bike. If it is a well maintained machine that gets regular service, multi-weight oils drains faster COLD (more importantly "completely"), when at ambient temps. 10W-40 is 10 weight oil at ambient temperatures. Multi-weight oil gets thicker as it gets hotter. It is COUNTER PRODUCTIVE to drain multi-weight oil hot unless it is ancient. Drive the bike to operating temp then park it where you drain your oil and drain it the next morning. Evey drop that's ever going to come out will come right out, it is 10 weight oil. This isn't the 60's. Please google it, it is wrong and counter productive to drain your oil hot. Work smarter not hotter.
