How to Change the Oil in a 2024 GAS GAS MC-E3

Shop parts for a 2024 GAS GAS MC-E3 Dirt Bike.

Changing the oil in your dirt bike is essential for long engine life and optimum performance. While GAS GAS MC-E3 models are primarily electric (which means they do not require engine oil changes like combustion engines), if you meant a 2024 GAS GAS MC 250F or MC 350F (as indicated by available oil change kits and guides), the following comprehensive guide will cover the essentials for these 4-stroke models. If you are working on an MC-E3 and your manual confirms there's a gearbox or transmission oil to be replaced, follow any manufacturer-specific directions.

Tools and Supplies You’ll Need

  • Socket wrench set (with appropriate metric sockets)
  • Torque wrench
  • Oil catch pan
  • Needle nose pliers
  • Parts cleaner or brake cleaner
  • Shop towels or rags
  • New oil filter (OEM recommended)
  • Oil drain bolt crush washer
  • Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 full synthetic oil (1.0 liter for MC 250F/350F)
  • Funnel
  • Oil drain tool (optional but helps prevent messes)

Preparation

  • Ride your bike for a few minutes to warm up the oil, which helps it flow out more easily.
  • Turn off the engine, place the bike on a stand, and ensure it is stable before beginning work.
  • Make sure you have your bike’s Owner’s Manual handy for specifications.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Remove the Skid Plate (if equipped)

  • If your GAS GAS has a skid plate obstructing the drain plug, remove it using the appropriate socket.

2. Drain the Old Oil

  • Locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Position your oil catch pan beneath it.
  • Use your socket wrench to carefully loosen and remove the drain plug. Allow all the oil to drain completely.
  • While the oil is draining, remove the oil filter cover (usually located on the right side of the engine) and carefully take out the oil filter. Be ready for additional oil spillage.
  • Remove and inspect the oil screens (if present), clean them with brake cleaner, and check for metal shavings. Replace or clean as needed.

3. Replace the Crush Washer

  • Every oil change should use a new oil drain bolt crush washer to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks.

4. Clean and Inspect Mating Surfaces

  • Wipe off areas around the drain plug, oil filter, and case covers using clean shop towels.
  • Inspect O-rings, ensuring they’re not crushed or flattened. Replace any that show signs of wear or damage.

5. Reinstall Oil Screens and Drain Plug

  • Lightly coat O-rings and the oil filter seal with a little fresh oil.
  • Carefully reinsert the cleaned oil screens (making sure they seat fully–do not let them sit offset, as this can allow debris into your oil circuit).
  • Install the drain plug with a new crush washer and torque to manufacturer spec (typically 14.8 foot-pounds for the MC 250F/350F).

6. Install New Oil Filter

  • Insert the new OEM oil filter. Apply a little oil to the rubber gasket before installation.
  • Reinstall the filter cover and torque to specification. Use a 6-point wrench or T-handle for best results—avoid 12-point wrenches as they can damage aluminum parts.

7. Add New Oil

  • Using a funnel, pour in 1.0 liter of Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 full synthetic oil. If unsure, check your owner’s manual for the exact quantity.
  • Replace and secure the oil fill cap.
  • Wipe away any spilled oil on the engine or frame.

8. Check Oil Level and Leaks

  • Start your bike and let it idle for a minute. Shut it off and check the oil level using the sight glass or dipstick, adding oil if needed.
  • Inspect the drain plug and oil filter area for leaks. Tighten as needed if minor leaks appear, but do not overtighten.

9. Dispose of Used Oil and Filter

  • Take your used oil and filter to a proper recycling or hazardous waste facility. Many auto supply stores accept used oil free of charge.

GAS GAS MC-E3 Model-Specific Call-Outs

  • The GAS GAS MC-E3 is an electric dirt bike and does not use engine oil. Check your Owner’s Manual to see if any transmission or reduction gear lubrication is specified, as this is not typical for the vast majority of electric dirt bikes. If no such step is mentioned, routine oil changes are unnecessary for this model.
  • If you own a MC 250F or MC 350F, the above process applies and should be followed by the letter for best results.

Pro Tips

  • Using an oil drain tool can make oil changes less messy by diverting flow away from the frame and onto your catch pan.
  • Start your bike and tip it slightly to each side while idling after the oil change to ensure full oil circulation.
  • Always use genuine parts and oil, as specified by GAS GAS, for best engine protection.

Conclusion

  • Regular oil changes are key to dirt bike longevity. Always verify your specific model’s needs. For MC-E3 owners, most maintenance will focus on the battery, brakes, and chassis rather than engine oil.
