Changing the oil in your 2024 GAS GAS MC 250F is an essential maintenance task to keep your engine running smoothly and extend the life of your dirt bike. This guide, proprietary to MotoSport.com, walks you through every step with model-specific tips and required tools.

Tools and Supplies Needed

  • 13mm socket or wrench (for oil drain bolt)
  • 8mm T-handle wrench (for oil filter cover bolts)
  • T30 Torx bit (if specified for oil screen cover, check your bike's bolts)
  • Oil Change Kit (Includes 1L Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 oil, OEM oil filter, crush washer)
  • Drain pan
  • Rag or shop towels
  • Contact cleaner (for degreasing parts before reassembly)
  • Pliers (for stuck oil filter, if necessary)
  • Torque wrench (to torque bolts correctly)

Model-Specific Call-Outs

  • Stand type matters: Do not use a traditional lift stand. Use a flat platform stand so you have access to the drain bolt and can lean the bike, which helps oil drain completely.
  • Shared designs: The 2024 MC 250F shares drivetrain features with KTM and Husqvarna 250cc four-stroke models. Oil change steps and torque values generally apply across these models.
  • Drain plug location: Under the engine, accessed easily from below when using the correct stand.
  • Oil filter orientation: Ensure proper placement when reinstalling; incorrect orientation can lead to oil starvation.

Step-by-Step Oil Change Process

  1. Warm up the engine for 2-3 minutes. This thins the oil for better drainage.
  2. Shut off the engine and place the bike upright on a platform stand for full access.
  3. Remove the skid plate if equipped, for easier access to the drain bolt.
  4. Position your drain pan under the oil drain bolt on the underside of the engine.
  5. Remove the drain bolt using your 13mm socket. Be ready for oil to flow immediately. Allow oil to drain completely. Inspect the magnetic tip of the drain bolt for any metal–small shavings are normal but look for anything excessive.
  6. Replace the crush washer on the drain bolt with a new one included in your oil change kit.
  7. Optional: Remove oil screen (if equipped/copied from KTM design):
    • Remove the oil screen cover (check if your model has external screen with a T30 Torx bit).
    • Pull out the screen, clean with contact cleaner, inspect for debris or shavings, and reinstall after drying. Make sure O-rings are intact and lightly oiled before reassembly.
  8. Remove the oil filter cover by loosening the two bolts with your 8mm T-handle wrench. Take care not to lose the O-ring behind the cover.
    • Remove and discard the used oil filter.
    • If the filter is stuck, gently use pliers to pull it free.
    • Clean inside the filter cavity and the cover with a clean rag.
    • Install the new OEM oil filter, matching the original orientation.
    • Inspect and lubricate O-ring or gasket on the cover. Replace if damaged.
    • Reinstall and tighten the cover bolts evenly.
  9. Reinstall the drain bolt (with new crush washer), and torque to 14.8 ft-lbs. Overtorquing can crack the case or strip threads.
  10. Add new oil.
    • Remove the oil fill cap.
    • Pour in 1.0 liter of Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 full synthetic oil (the specified capacity for the MC 250F).
    • Reinstall the oil fill cap securely.
  11. Start the engine and let it idle for 30 seconds. Check for any oil leaks around the drain bolt and oil filter area.
  12. Turn off the engine and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Set the bike upright and check the oil level using the sight glass or dipstick (whichever your model uses).
  13. Top off oil if the level is below the recommended amount. Never overfill.
  14. Clean up any oil spills and properly dispose of your used oil and filter at a recycling center.

Additional Tips for the 2024 GAS GAS MC 250F

  • Always use a new crush washer and high-quality oil filter every oil change for the best engine protection.
  • Check O-rings and sealing surfaces during reassembly; damage here can lead to leaks. Replace O-rings if crushed or cracked.
  • Metal shavings on the magnetic drain bolt are expected when new, but if you see a sudden increase, monitor closely and seek professional help if concerned.
  • Running the bike at idle after fresh oil fills the new filter and helps provide an accurate oil level reading.
  • Follow your owner’s manual for oil change intervals—typically every 10 hours of riding or sooner under severe conditions.

The 2024 GAS GAS MC 250F is built for performance—routine oil changes with the proper technique and parts are the key to lasting reliability and maximum fun on every ride. All parts and fluids can be sourced directly from MotoSport.com for peace of mind and convenience.
