Shop parts for a 2022 GAS GAS MC-E 5 Dirt Bike.

Tools and Materials Needed

• 1 liter of Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 full synthetic oil
• OEM Oil Filter (SpareParts brand recommended)
• Oil drain bolt crush washer
• Metric sockets and wrench set (8mm, 10mm, 13mm, and 17mm)
• Torque wrench
• Oil filter wrench (cup style or strap wrench)
• Clean rags
• Oil drain pan
• Funnel
• Gloves
• Bike stand or lift (optional, but helpful)
• Contact cleaner or brake cleaner (for cleaning oil residue)

Steps for Changing the Oil and Filter

1. Warm Up the Engine
   Run the engine for a few minutes to warm the oil. This helps the oil drain more completely.
2. Prepare the Bike
   Place the bike on a stand or lift so it is level. This ensures proper oil drainage.
3. Locate and Remove the Oil Drain Plug
   Place the drain pan underneath the engine. Using the appropriate socket, remove the oil drain plug (usually a 13mm or 17mm bolt). Be careful as hot oil will flow out quickly. Remove the crush washer–it should be replaced every oil change to ensure a proper seal.
4. Allow Oil to Fully Drain
   Let the oil drain completely. This may take several minutes. While the oil drains, inspect the drain plug for any metal shavings–small debris is normal, but large chunks are not.
5. Remove and Inspect the Oil Filter
   Locate the oil filter cover, usually on the right side of the engine. Use the correct socket (often 8mm or 10mm) to remove the cover. Take out the filter. Inspect both the filter and the filter chamber for debris. Clean the area thoroughly before installing the new filter.
6. Install the New Oil Filter and Cover
   Install the new OEM oil filter. Ensure the O-rings on the filter cover are in good condition–replace them if damaged or flattened. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the O-rings to help with sealing. Reinstall the filter cover and torque to the manufacturer—s specification.
7. Reinstall the Drain Plug
   Install the new crush washer on the drain plug. Screw in the drain plug and torque to 14.8 ft-lbs (or as specified in your manual). Avoid overtightening.
8. Add Fresh Oil
   Using a funnel, slowly pour in 1 liter of Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 (or manufacturer-specified equivalent). Check your owner—s manual for the exact capacity. Do not overfill.
9. Start the Engine
   Start the engine and let it idle for a minute. This circulates the new oil and fills the filter. Shut off the engine and check for leaks.
10. Check Oil Level
    With the bike on level ground, check the oil sight glass or dipstick (if equipped). The oil level should be between the high and low marks. Add a small amount if necessary.
11. Clean Up
    Wipe off any spilled oil from the engine and drain plug area. Dispose of old oil and filter responsibly.
