Keeping your engine running strong on your 2024 GAS GAS MC 350F starts with regular oil changes. Follow this comprehensive guide to complete a full oil change the right way, every time.
Tools and Supplies Needed
- 1.0 liter Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 oil (OEM-recommended full synthetic)
- OEM oil filter (specific for 2021–2024 GAS GAS MC 350F)
- Oil drain bolt crush washer
- Socket set (8mm, 13mm sockets recommended)
- Torque wrench
- Drain pan
- Rags or shop towels
- Needle nose pliers
- Paper funnel or measuring cup
- Contact cleaner or brake cleaner
- Grease (optional)
- Bullet Proof Designs oil drain tool (optional but recommended for avoiding mess)
Pre-Oil Change Preparation
- Warm up the engine for 3–5 minutes to thin the oil for easier draining.
- Park the bike on a stand, ensuring it is balanced and won't tip.
- Gather all necessary tools and replacement parts before starting.
Step-by-Step Oil Change Process
- Locate Oil Drain Plug
- The drain plug is on the underside of the engine. On the 2024 MC 350F, it is easily accessible without removing the skidplate, but a drain tool can make this step cleaner.
- Remove Drain Plug and Crush Washer
- Remove with the appropriate socket. Beware of hot oil.
- Let the oil fully drain into a pan. Tilt the bike slightly to get every last drop out.
- Remove and discard the old crush washer.
- Remove the Oil Strainer (optional but recommended)
- Use the 13mm socket to remove the oil strainer bolt.
- Pull out the strainer with needle nose pliers. Clean it with contact cleaner, then reinstall.
- Remove the Oil Filter
- Locate the oil filter cover on the engine case (usually held by 8mm bolts).
- Remove the cover and carefully pull out the old oil filter.
- Clean the filter area with a rag. Lightly grease the O-ring of the new oil filter for better sealing.
- Install New Parts
- Install the new oil filter, making sure it seats properly.
- Replace the cleaned oil strainer and bolt, if removed.
- Install a new crush washer on the drain bolt, then thread the plug into the engine case.
- Tighten all fasteners to spec: Check your owner’s manual for exact torque values, or follow general practice (drain bolt: –15Nm, filter cover: –10Nm).
- Add New Oil
- Remove the oil filler cap (usually on top of the right side engine cover).
- Use a paper funnel or a measuring cup to pour 1.0 liter of Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 into the engine.
- Check Oil Level
- Install and tighten the filler cap.
- Start the engine and let it idle for 1–2 minutes, then turn off the bike and let it sit for another 1–2 minutes.
- Check the oil level through the sight glass on the right side of the engine. Top off if necessary.
- Final Inspection
- Look for any leaks from the drain plug, oil filter cover, or filler cap.
- Dispose of the old oil and filter properly—never pour oil down the drain or into the ground.
- Record your oil change in your maintenance log.
2024 GAS GAS MC 350F Specific Notes & Call-outs
- OEM Oil Kit: Using the official kit (Motorex 4T 10W/50, OEM filter, crush washer) ensures a perfect fit and optimal performance for your 2024 MC 350F. Using lesser or incompatible oils can affect engine life and warranty coverage. The same oil kit fits 2021–2024 MC/EX 250F and 350F engines.
- Oil Capacity & Change Interval: The engine takes 1.0 liter of oil. Change every 15 engine hours, though many riders prefer every 10 hours for longevity.
- Oil Strainer Maintenance: Always inspect and clean the oil strainer with each oil change, especially if it's the first service or the bike sees heavy use.
- Drain Tool: The Bullet Proof Designs oil drain tool helps prevent spills and allows you to change oil without removing the skidplate (especially useful if using aftermarket guards or working on uneven ground).
- Filter Orientation: When replacing the filter, double-check the orientation. Insert the new filter the same way the old one came out to ensure proper oil flow.
- Proper Torquing: Over-tightening the oil drain bolt or filter cover can strip threads in the soft aluminum cases. Always use a torque wrench and follow specs.
- Warranty & Documentation: Document your maintenance and, where possible, use OEM parts and fluids to maintain warranty eligibility on the 2024 GAS GAS MC 350F.
