Changing the oil

(1/2) > >>

SandToyz:
Hi i'm going to change the oil for my motor, idon't have the book so how much i need?
thanks

TomL:
Should be about a quart.  I'm not perfectly sure because I buy oil in the gallon jug and just fill it until it comes to the top of the window on the side of the case.

hughes:
My manual says 28 oz. Just shy of a quart. I use a funnel that has a measuring lines on the sides. After you fill it to your desired amount just open the check valve and fill. Pick this thing up at Wal-Mart. I use 80w Bel-Ray trans. oil.

James670X:
First of all I'm presuming that the oil change is for a KX500 (year?), secondly you're not actually changing the engine oil (again presuming your bike's a KX500) you are changing the transmission oil (engine oil is the oil you mix in with your gas), thirdly again assuming you have a KX500 (year?) the capacity should be 800ml (0.8L) and the recommended weight oil would be any 10W30, 10W40, 75W or 80W oil.

hughes:
Sand Toyz post was listed under the Maintenance & Technical kx500. So let's hope it was a 500.
