Hello, I live in Turkey. Everyone here recommends me to use semi-synthetic oil. I am in favor of using full synthetic. Will I encounter any problems? I am a crf250l user. The oil I want to use is Motul 7100 10w30. I would appreciate it if you could give me information, thank you.
Mileage plays a part in this opinion, but if you've got high miles and have been running semi-synthetic, stick with it. It helps bind to older seals and gaskets. If you have low miles, full synthetic will ultimately lubricate your engine better in the long run. You can also go longer in between oil changes since the oil additive package tends to break down slower.
So I’ve done the 600 mile oil change and I’m about 5600 miles in. It’s recommended 8000 miles before oil changes but my oil level is at the bottom line. Should this be normal or is it burning through oil?
That does seem odd, and it sounds like you are burning oil. If you do an oil change, which it sounds like is in order, try to get a read on how many quarts drain out to see how much you may have burned through.
@@poweroilcenter Could it be from running it hard? I’ve been commuting at around 60-70 mph 100 miles a day. I’m a big guy but very surprised how low it was
@@Trumpwonhahahahaha High temperatures can contribute to engine oil burning off faster. When an engine operates at higher temperatures, the oil can thin out, which reduces its ability to lubricate effectively. This thinning can increase oil consumption as the oil can pass more easily through seals and gaskets, leading to greater evaporation and burning. Additionally, high temperatures can cause the oil to break down chemically, reducing its viscosity and protective properties, further accelerating consumption and wear.
Hello - There is no service light on the CRF300L. The check engine light on these bikes is prone to come on with any kind of change in the fuel or exhaust system. An aftermarket air filter, evap removal, or slip on exhaust will make it come on. Try resetting the light by holding the SELECT and/or SET button on your display and starting the bike.
@@ssiddall222 With a dipstick the oil level can be checked and wiped with a paper towel and check with a eye loop for "little bits of stuff" that shouldn't be in the oil --- can't be son with a little window.
First step is undo the oil fill cap for better flow to pull more particulates out of suspension when draining... but nobody does that.
thanks dude
Tnx bro👍
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!

About 18 ounces of oil was missing. It’s also been 99-106 degrees the last couple weeks. Run it pretty hard.

I don't care what Honda says. 8k is too long. Change it. It's cheap and easy. Plus a perfect video right above.

For which bolts?
For the 3rd bolt from left.... 🤷♂️
If you not tq it. Lameasss

Great watch, but why no dipstick ???? First bike I ever had without one.
It has a viewing window. Pretty common
@@TheDogDad Not a fan of the little windows. You can check a dipstick in the dark along a trail.
@@jetsons101 The same thing can be done with a window.
