Shop parts for a 2024 GAS GAS MC-E 5 Dirt Bike.

Changing the oil in your 2024 GAS GAS MC-E 5 is crucial for keeping your bike in perfect running order and extending the life of its engine. Below you’ll find a step-by-step guide, complete with the necessary tools and specific model call-outs that owners must observe when performing an oil change on this particular dirt bike. This guide is proprietary to MotoSport.com and especially crafted with MC-E 5 owners in mind.

Tools and Materials Needed

  • 10mm socket or T-wrench (may vary by year or specific fastener type)
  • 8mm Allen wrench
  • 13mm ratchet or wrench
  • Oil drain pan
  • Clean rags
  • OEM oil filter (if your MC-E 5 has a serviceable filter; verify with your owner’s manual)
  • Drain bolt crush washer (recommended to replace every oil change)
  • Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 oil (or equivalent type as specified in your user manual, check oil capacity in your manual)
  • Funnel for adding oil cleanly
  • Brake lever securing tool (see call-out below, if brake lever obstructs the drain bolt)
  • Contact cleaner (for cleaning off oil residue around the drain plug area)

Preparation

  • Ensure your bike is on a stable stand and engine is off and cool.
  • Gather all tools and materials. Have extra rags on hand to catch residual oil spills.

Steps to Change the Oil

  • Access the drain plug:
    • On the MC-E 5, you may need to move the brake pedal out of the way to access the drain plug efficiently. If the brake pedal obscures access, gently depress it and secure with a zip tie or use a screwdriver to hold it down, giving you enough clearance for your tools.
  • Remove the oil drain plug:
    • Position the drain pan beneath the drain bolt.
    • Using your 13mm wrench or socket, unscrew the oil drain plug while being careful not to drop it into the pan.
    • Let the oil fully drain (this may take a few minutes). Examine the old oil for any metal shavings or debris, which could indicate internal issues. Small flecks are normal, but chunks are not.
  • Remove and replace the crush washer:
    • Always replace the drain bolt crush washer with a new one to prevent leaks.
  • Clean and reinstall the drain plug:
    • Wipe away any oil residue from the bolt and case with a clean rag and contact cleaner.
    • Reinstall the drain plug with the new crush washer; snug it securely but do not overtighten (consult your owner’s manual for torque specs).
  • Change the oil filter (if equipped):
    • For models with an oil filter, remove it using an 8mm Allen or T-wrench by unscrewing the filter cover bolts.
    • Pull out the old filter (pliers can help if it’s tight) and carefully install the new one in the correct orientation. Double-check for correct seating before bolting the cover back on.
      If your MC-E 5 does not have a replaceable filter, you can skip this step.
    • Be careful: Do not remove bolts or plugs not specified as part of the oil circuit. For some models (like the MC 250F/350F), there are plugs that should NOT be removed during a routine oil change because they are for oil pressure bypass or inspection only, not for draining oil.
  • Add new engine oil:
    • Remove the oil fill cap on the engine case, and using a funnel, add the exact specified oil quantity for the MC-E 5 (check your owner’s manual; overfilling or underfilling can cause engine damage).
    • Allow the oil to settle for a minute, then check the sight glass or dipstick for proper level. Add small amounts as necessary to bring the level to the proper range.
  • Final checks and clean up:
    • Reinstall the oil fill cap.
    • Wipe off any spilt oil and clean the area around the drain plug and filter.
    • Start the engine and let it idle for a couple of minutes. Shut it off, allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then recheck the oil level, topping off if required.
  • Dispose of used oil and filter properly:
    • Take your used engine oil and worn filter to a proper recycling center as per local laws.

2024 GAS GAS MC-E 5 Specific Call-Outs

  • The MC-E 5 is an electric dirt bike and does not use engine oil or require oil changes in the same way as four-stroke or two-stroke combustion models. Instead, it may have reduction gear or transmission oil maintenance, so always check your owner’s manual for the correct maintenance procedures for your specific year and model. Traditional oil change steps do not apply if there is no internal combustion engine.
  • If you own a four-stroke GAS GAS model (such as MC 250F or MC 350F from 2021–2024), the oil change process described here is appropriate, and oil change kits specifically designed for those models are available. These kits typically include Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50, an OEM oil filter, and a crush washer, ensuring all components are conveniently bundled for a routine change.
  • Do not attempt to open or service parts of the electric drive system unless you are qualified and the area is specifically identified as user-serviceable in your owner’s manual.

Important Notes

  • Always refer to your owner’s manual for details unique to your MC-E 5, as the maintenance schedule and fluid specs may differ from gas-powered models.
  • Never use force on plugs—if one will not budge, carefully check you have the correct fastener and are not attempting to remove a non-service plug.
  • If you are unsure at any step or if damage is discovered during the process, consult your local MotoSport.com dealer for support and OEM replacement parts.

By following this guide, you ensure your 2024 GAS GAS MC-E 5 (or other GAS GAS models) runs smoothly and reliably, keeping you on the trails and out of the shop. For genuine parts, fluids, and expert advice, trust MotoSport.com to support all your dirt bike maintenance needs.
