Motorcycle Oil Change
Our Beaverton Motorcycles service department carries out essential services to keep your motorcycle in tip-top shape. Your motorcycle’s oil is a huge factor in how smoothly your bike will run for the coming months and years, so regularly checking and changing it should be near the top of your priority list.
How Often Should I Change My Motorcycle Oil?
Motor oil gives your engine the power to run smoothly, acting as a lubricant for your engine’s moving parts. If your motorcycle is low on oil or completely runs out, this could lead to extensive and expensive damage that could’ve been avoided with a proper oil change.
While the time frame in which you should change your oil can vary by your make, model and year, here are a few things to consider for how often you need an oil change:
Overall Motorcycle Usage
If you ride your motorcycle often, the sooner you’ll need to change your oil. If you only ride a few times out of the year, you won’t need to change your oil as often as a rider who gets on their bike everyday.
Type of Oil
With different types of motor oil, your oil change schedule may vary. For example, a mineral-based motor oil needs to be replaced after 2,000 to 3,000 miles, while a semi-synthetic motor oil can generally last 5,000-8,000. A fully synthetic motor oil is typically the longest-lasting, with an approximate limit of 7,000-10,000 miles before needing to change the oil.
