MotoSport.com brings you this proprietary how-to for reliable dirt bike care.

Tools and Supplies Needed

  • Socket/ratchet set (including 13mm and required sizes for drain and fill plugs)
  • Torque wrench
  • Oil drain pan
  • Oil funnel or flexible spout
  • Clean rags or paper towels
  • New crush washer or seal ring (for drain plug)
  • Recommended engine oil: 15W/50 full synthetic, 0.8L (0.8 qt.)
  • Gloves and protective eyewear (optional, but recommended)

Pre-Change Preparation

  • Run the engine for 3-4 minutes to warm up the oil; warm oil drains more thoroughly and carries away more debris.
  • Park the bike on a level surface with a stable stand.
  • Ensure you have ample ventilation if working indoors.
  • Lay out your tools and supplies within easy reach.

Step-by-Step Oil Change Process

  1. Locate the Drain and Filler Plugs
    • The drain plug is underneath the engine case.
    • The filler plug is on the right side of the engine.
    • Identify the oil level monitoring screw–a small bolt on the clutch cover (side case).
  2. Drain the Old Oil
    • Place the oil drain pan under the engine.
    • Remove the oil level monitoring screw to allow air in for faster drainage.
    • Use a socket to remove the drain plug. Allow all oil to empty into the drain pan.
    • Check the drain plug magnet for metallic debris—a small amount of metal "mud" is normal, but look out for larger chunks, which could indicate internal wear.
    • Replace the old crush washer with a new one if damaged or worn.
  3. Clean and Reinstall the Drain Plug
    • Wipe the drain plug and magnet clean.
    • Ensure the sealing surface on the engine is free of old oil and debris.
    • Install the drain plug with the new washer and torque to 20 Nm (14.8 lbf ft) as recommended for the 2022 TE300i.
  4. Fill with New Oil
    • Remove the filler plug.
    • Using a funnel, fill the engine with 0.8 liters (0.8 quarts) of 15W/50 full synthetic oil–this is the Husqvarna spec for the 2022 TE300i.
    • Pour slowly to avoid spills and check as you go.
    • The oil level is correct when a small amount starts to run out of the oil level monitoring screw hole.
    • If no oil comes out, add oil a little at a time until it just starts to trickle out.
  5. Replace and Torque All Plugs
    • Install the oil level monitoring screw (8 Nm/5.9 lbf ft torque).
    • Replace and torque the filler plug securely with its O-ring intact.
  6. Cleanup and Final Checks
    • Wipe down any oil drips from the engine case.
    • Start the engine and let it idle for a minute—watch for oil leaks.
    • Re-check the oil level indicator screw; top off if necessary.
    • Safely dispose of the old oil at a proper recycling facility.

Model-Specific Call-Outs: 2022 Husqvarna TE300i

  • The 2022 TE300i uses 0.8L (0.8 qt.) of 15W/50 full synthetic oil–do not overfill.
  • The drain plug features a magnet; always inspect for debris and keep it clean for maximum protection.
  • Always use new crush washers or seal rings to prevent leaks.
  • The case threads are aluminum–never overtighten the plugs. Use a torque wrench to avoid stripping the case.
  • If using aftermarket oils, ensure they meet Husqvarna’s requirements for two-stroke transmission lubrication.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Oil Change

  • Write down the date and hours on the bike at each oil change to track maintenance intervals.
  • Check for oil leaks or seeps after the first ride post-change to confirm proper sealing.
  • Changing oil more frequently keeps your TE300i performing at its best–especially if you ride in harsh conditions.
