Changing the oil in your 2022 Honda CRF110F is a critical maintenance step for keeping your dirt bike operating at peak performance. Proper oil changes ensure engine longevity, smooth performance, and reduced wear. Below, you’ll find a comprehensive, MotoSport.com proprietary guide covering the entire process—tools, specific steps, important safety notes, and model-specific call-outs.

Tools and Supplies Needed

  • 17mm socket and ratchet
  • Oil drain pan
  • 1.0L (1.1 US qt) of motorcycle-specific 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil (Honda recommends these viscosities based on temperature ranges)
  • New sealing washer for the drain bolt
  • Shop rags or paper towels
  • Torque wrench (capable of 18 lbf·ft / 24 N·m)
  • Funnel
  • Gloves (recommended for mess-free work)
  • Owner’s manual for reference

Important Model-Specific Information

  • The 2022 CRF110F does not use an oil filter—it has an internal oil screen. While routine oil changes don’t require screen removal, it’s good practice to check the screen every few oil changes for buildup.
  • Do not remove the cam chain tensioner push rod bolt by mistake. It is located near the oil drain and could cause internal issues if removed.
  • Oil volume for the 2022 CRF110F is 1.0L (1.1 US qt).
  • The drain bolt torque spec is 18 lbf–ft (24 N–m).

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Warm Up the Engine
    Start the CRF110F and let it idle for 3-5 minutes to warm the engine oil. Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants out of the engine. Do not rev excessively—just let it idle.
  2. Turn Off and Settle
    Turn off the engine and allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes so the oil can settle at the bottom of the crankcase.
  3. Stabilize and Prep the Bike
    Park the bike upright on a firm, level surface. Secure it with a stand if available. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick to allow air to flow and oil to drain more smoothly.
  4. Drain the Oil
    Place your drain pan under the engine's drain bolt on the right side. Using your 17mm socket and ratchet, remove the oil drain bolt (not the cam chain tensioner push rod bolt). Allow the oil to drain fully. You can gently tilt the bike side-to-side to help remove as much old oil as possible.
  5. Remove Old Sealing Washer and Replace
    Remove the old sealing washer from the drain bolt and install a new one, essential for proper sealing and to prevent leaks.
  6. Reinstall Drain Bolt
    Once oil is fully drained, reinstall the drain bolt with the new sealing washer. Use your torque wrench to tighten to 18 lbf–ft (24 N–m) (over or under-tightening can cause leaks or strip threads).
  7. Fill with New Oil
    Using a clean funnel, pour 1.0L (1.1 US qt) of fresh, high-quality oil (10W-30 or 10W-40 depending on your climate) into the oil fill opening.
  8. Check Oil Level
    Replace the oil fill cap/dipstick (thread it all the way in). Start the engine and let it idle for 3-5 minutes; turn it off and allow the bike to sit upright. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean, insert (but do not thread in), remove, and check the oil level is between the marks. Top up if needed, but do not overfill.
  9. Inspect for Leaks
    Carefully inspect the drain bolt area and crankcase for any signs of oil leaks. If all is well, replace any removed covers, dispose of the old oil responsibly at a proper facility, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a well-serviced bike.

Top Tips and Warnings for 2022 CRF110F Owners

  • Always use a new sealing washer with each oil change.
  • Never remove the cam chain tensioner push rod bolt.
  • Check internal oil screen every few oil changes, especially if your bike operates in dusty environments.
  • Disposing of oil correctly is critical—never pour it on the ground or down household drains.
  • If you notice metal particles or excessive sludge when draining, consider inspecting the oil screen and consult a professional if necessary.
  • Refer to your owner’s manual for further maintenance intervals and best practices.

Recommended Oil Types

  • 10W-30 or 10W-40 motorcycle oil based on expected ambient temperatures. Synthetic or semi-synthetic is acceptable, but always ensure it meets Honda’s specifications for wet clutches.
