Tools and Materials Needed
- 17mm socket and ratchet (or appropriate wrench for the drain bolt)
- Oil drain pan
- Clean rags or shop towels
- Rubber gloves (recommended for safety)
- New engine oil (Honda recommends 10W-40 for most conditions)
- Torque wrench (for precise tightening of the drain bolt)
- New sealing washer for the drain bolt (always replace this to prevent leaks)
- Funnel (helps avoid spills when pouring oil)
- Oil measurement cup (to ensure the correct amount is added)
- OEM right side crankcase gasket (only if you remove the case cover or internal oil screen; usually not needed for standard oil changes)
Step-by-Step: Changing the Oil on a 2014 Honda CRF110F
-
Warm Up the Engine
- Start the bike and let it idle for 3–5 minutes to warm up the oil. Warm oil flows more easily, carrying out contaminants.
- Turn the engine off and let it sit for 2–3 minutes so the oil can settle in the crankcase.
-
Prepare the Bike & Work Area
- Place the motorcycle upright on a level surface or a bike stand.
- Make sure the bike is secure and won’t tip over during the oil change.
-
Remove the Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick
- Unscrew the oil fill cap/dipstick on the right side of the engine. This allows air in and helps the oil drain smoothly.
-
Drain the Old Oil
- Place your drain pan directly under the engine’s oil drain bolt.
- Use your 17mm socket to carefully loosen and remove the oil drain bolt (do not remove the cam chain tensioner push rod bolt, which is nearby and easily mistaken).
- Allow all oil to fully drain—gently tilt the bike from side to side to remove as much old oil as possible.
-
Replace Sealing Washer and Reinstall Drain Bolt
- Inspect and always replace the sealing washer on the drain bolt with a new one.
- Reinstall the drain bolt and tighten it with a torque wrench to 24 N·m (18 lbf·ft).
-
Refill with New Oil
- Using a funnel, pour 1.0 liter (1.1 US qt) of the recommended 10W-40 motorcycle engine oil into the fill port.
- Check that the filler cap’s O-ring is in good condition, replacing it if necessary.
- Reinstall the cap/dipstick securely.
-
Run the Engine and Check Oil Level
- Start the engine and let it idle for 2–3 minutes.
- Turn off the engine, let it sit for about 2 minutes, then check the oil level using the dipstick while the bike is upright and level.
- If needed, slowly add oil until the oil level reaches the upper mark on the dipstick—do not overfill.
-
Check for Leaks
- Inspect around the drain bolt and engine for oil leaks. Wipe up any spills and correct any leaks by checking washer and torque.
-
Dispose of Used Oil
- Dispose of old oil at an approved recycling or hazardous waste facility. Never dump oil on the ground or in drains.
2014 Honda CRF110F Specific Call-Outs
- Oil Screen Check: This model uses an internal oil screen instead of a traditional filter. Check the screen periodically for debris during major service intervals. (For standard oil changes, you do not need to access it. Only remove the right engine cover if you are checking or cleaning the oil screen, which also requires a new gasket for reinstallation.)
- Sealing Washer: Always replace the sealing washer under the drain bolt to prevent leaks.
- No Oil Filter: The 2014 CRF110F does not use a spin-on or cartridge oil filter; maintenance is limited to oil and oil screen for this model.
- Drain Bolt Location: The oil drain bolt is located on the right side, below the engine. Avoid removing the nearby cam chain tensioner push rod bolt (visually similar, but not the same function).
- Oil Capacity: Use exactly 1.0 liter of oil; overfilling may cause engine issues.
Final Tips and Reminders
- Warm oil drains faster and more thoroughly, so always do this with a warm engine.
- Safety first—wear gloves and protect yourself from burn risks.
- Keep your work area clean to avoid getting dirt into the engine.
- If you need to buy oil, washers, or other supplies, check out the vast inventory at MotoSport.com for genuine Honda parts and high-quality oils.
