Method #1 (M1) is what I'd recommend when changing engine oil. If you watch my video on Method #2 (M2) I show how to drain the oil from the Filter/Screen side. With the (M1) method it makes more sense and the oil drain plug sits lower on the engine and you don't have a mess removing the Filter/Screen. I've seen countless videos of doing it both ways, so hopefully this helps!
Oh yes you do have to drain the oil screen side if you want to get all the oil out just draing the oil from the oil drain plug does not get all the oil out there in still some oil where the oil screen is.
Just a couple items. The oil you recommended is not what Honda engineers recommend in the manual or service manual. They recommend 10w30 JASO MB rated oil. Your oil is MA rated, which is for motorcycles that share engine oil and clutch/transmission. It has additional friction elements added to stop clutch slippage. Since our scooters have a CVT transmission, they do not need the additional friction. It will negatively affect gas mileage compared to MB, which is for dry transmission scooters.. Next, the amount needed is 0.8L, not 0.08L as you state. Inspection of the video shows you measured almost 0.9L, which is overfull. The manual states the oil filter screen only needs to be cleaned every other oil change, or 8,000 miles. However, it is so easy, why not?
Thanks for the update. Yes, I had a digit off with the zero. I'll make a note on the video or in the pinned comment. I knew my oil was a little liberal, but I drained some and corrected it. Regarding the oil, it's what my dealer has always recommended so just going by that. I'll be sure to ask them next time I'm in there to get their input.
shoot, i believe i got the MA version as well by pure mistake. Would it mess up my ADV150 real bad? what could be the side effects? i'm guessing i need to dump that oil asap and buy the MB rated version. Thx for your comment above, that was a great point 😊
i looked all over for MB rated and couldn't find it anywhere. Only MA, if you know or have a place or maybe a different brand please share with us. Thx
I doubt the MA type oil will harm anything, especially if my dealer is recommending it to everyone for these bikes. I'll call them today to get their input, but I've ran my bike on it for two years. I'll circle back on this later to update everyone, no worries.
my bikes are covered but i no longer have a garage to work in so right now my method of changing my oil and it needs it bad. is for this damn rain to stop for a few hours. GRRRR. i cant wait to start my new shop build.
You have rain, I have 95 degree HOT and humid for three months. Pick your poison. Might get lucky with one or two months per year where our weather is ideal. I hear ya!
Great video but the oil pictured is the wrong oil for this scooter. The Honda GN4 is for motorcycles with a wet clutch. The Honda scooters should run on oil with molly (GN4M). Molly is a friction modifier and will help prolong engine life. Scooters have a dry clutch. Being this video is older im sure you have figured all this out by now. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
This was a question when the video came out and according to the Honda dealership, that oil is what they use at the factory. They came out with a synthetic now. It was confusing for sure and I've switched to another brand.
Great video thank you! My only question is how do I know exactly which gold plug to get for my 2023 Honda adv150? I'm about to change the oil for the first time and figured I'd get one for it but I'm not sure which to get
Good day sir.. nice vid content.. in my place, CVT service cleaning can be performed on every 2 services once (every 2k km oil change), meaning second service, fourth service, sixth service and so on. Also using 10w30 MB... . mineral oil 0.8ltr. and oil drain plug with copper washer... . Thanks regards
Not bad at all. I will certainly update my approach to my next oil change based upon this video. I will drain directly from the bottom, and I will get one of those magnetized caps you are using. This made me realized that I didn't clean my filter when I did it. I drained from the filter side, and when it was done running out, I tipped the bike some to get more oil to drip out. Another thing, I didn't run the engine before doing the change. What purpose does that serve? Maybe to warm up the oil so more comes out during the drain? I'm curious. Good video.
You got it. The warmer/hotter the engine oil the better flow you achieve. I usually ride mine before an oil change, but since I just did one for the other video I figured it wouldn't matter. Now my oil should be super clean! Two oil changes in a week. But, It's cheap enough to demonstrate the process. Thanks!
Hi handsome great video. I have a 2022 adv150 with 810 miles. I picked it up March 27 2022. The dealership recommends using oil for both engine and rear axle. What are your thoughts about that?
Thanks for the comment! Below my videos is a link to the Shop Trekopolis where I have various items I use under lists. There's one for the ADV 150 where that magnetic screw should be under. If you can't find it let me know!
Question, isn’t Pro Honda GN4 motor oil certified JASO MA for applications with wet clutches? My ADV manual specifies certified type MB. Wouldn’t Pro Honda HP4M be the correct fill according to the manufacturer?
My dealer said they come from the factory with GN4 in them. I agree it's confusing. I'm switching to their newer synthetic next time. Think it's in a red bottle.
It's that metal foil looking thing with the spring behind it on the left side of the bike, that larger bolt. In one of my videos I show all that and how to remove, clean it, etc. Thanks for the comment! th-cam.com/video/IXnQ_IZBjfo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0jckZjkw4zxiR-0o
Attracts metal shavings from engine parts that break off and wear from friction. They are hard to see sometimes, but they are there, especially with newer motors as they break in and wear.
At first 600 miles after break-in period, then manual states every 4k afterwards. I do mine annually because it's very inexpensive and easy to do. But, that's just me.
Think I read oil drain bolt is roughly 18 ft-lbs, but I've never used a torque wrench on any oil change on my vehicles. As long as you don't overtighten you're good. A good measure is once the flush part of the bolt meets the metal tighten just enough to apply some pressure to lock in the seal, but not much more. It's a feel thing usually. 👍
Thank you. And I am trying to buy washer to go with that plug, what size is the washer? The plug description doesn't give me specs but I don't want to buy 50 of the wrong thing
Dealer says don't use Moly in the engine, but hard to know since I am still waiting on my Service Manual. :( I learn most things by either doing it myself and watching other videos like everyone else does.

Whatever works! Good tip!

What is the benefit of magnetic bolt. Please❤❤
Attracts metal shavings from engine parts that break off and wear from friction. They are hard to see sometimes, but they are there, especially with newer motors as they break in and wear.
