Tools and Materials Needed

  • Socket wrench (with 12mm socket)
  • Drain pan for catching old oil
  • Measuring cup or oil jug with measurements
  • New engine oil (see manual for recommended spec; capacity: 1.0 liter)
  • Replacement sealing washer for drain bolt

Honda CRF110F Oil Change: Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Warm Up the Engine
    • Start the CRF110F and let it idle for 3–5 minutes. This thins the oil, making it drain more easily.
  2. Turn Off Engine & Secure Bike
    • Turn the engine off and place the motorcycle upright on a firm, level surface to ensure accurate oil drainage and measurement.
  3. Remove Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick
    • Unscrew and remove the oil fill cap/dipstick from the right side of the engine. Set aside on a clean rag.
  4. Drain the Old Oil
    • Place your drain pan underneath the crankcase.
    • Using your socket wrench, remove the oil drain bolt (right side under the engine) and its sealing washer.
    • Allow the oil to fully drain—tilting the bike gently side to side helps remove the last of the oil.
  5. Replace Sealing Washer and Reinstall Drain Bolt
    • Install a new sealing washer onto the drain bolt.
    • Reinstall and tighten the drain bolt using a torque wrench to 24 N·m (18 lbf·ft).
  6. Add New Engine Oil
    • With a funnel, pour in 1.0 liter of the recommended oil through the fill port. Use only as much oil as required; do not overfill.
    • Honda recommends double-checking that the O-ring on the oil fill cap is in good condition. Replace if necessary.
    • Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick securely.
  7. Run and Check Oil Level
    • Start the engine and let it idle for 2–3 minutes. Turn off the engine and wait a couple of minutes for the oil to settle.
    • With the bike upright, remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert without screwing it in, then remove to check the oil level. It should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick.
    • If needed, top up oil to the upper mark. Do not overfill.
  8. Final Checks
    • Visually inspect for leaks around the drain bolt and fill port.
    • Dispose of old oil safely at a recycling center or automotive store.

2013 CRF110F Model-Specific Tips

  • Oil Capacity: The 2013 CRF110F takes 1.0 liter (1.1 US qt) during a standard change; if you perform a full teardown, you’ll need 1.15 liters

    .
  • Sealing Washer: Always replace the drain bolt washer to prevent leaks. This is an OEM-specified maintenance step.

  • Cam Chain Tensioner Push Rod Bolt: Do not remove this—it's located near the drain bolt and is often confused for it. Mistaken removal will require a dealer visit to repair.

  • Oil Screen: The CRF110F includes an internal oil screen. Checking and cleaning this is recommended during major services but is not required at every oil change.

  • Break-in & Dusty Conditions: During the engine break-in period or if riding in dusty environments, change oil more frequently for longevity.

Pro Tip from MotoSport.com

Always keep extra oil and a spare drain plug washer in your trail bag. A small investment in proper maintenance pays off with long-lasting, trouble-free rides. Let the engine warm up before every change and check the oil regularly, especially after a long ride or harsh conditions. Taking care of your Honda CRF110F keeps the adventures coming mile after mile.
