Oil Change Procedure

  1. Warm the Engine
    Briefly start the bike and let it idle for about 3 minutes. This helps the oil flow better, ensuring a complete drain. Turn the bike off and let it sit for a minute.
  2. Position the Bike and Pan
    Secure the bike on a stand that does not block the drain bolt location (avoid using a stand that blocks access to the underside of the engine). Leaning the bike slightly to the side later will aid oil drainage.
  3. Remove the Oil Drain Bolt
    Place the drain pan under the engine. Use your 13mm ratchet to remove the oil drain bolt from the bottom of the engine case. Let the oil drain fully. Replace the crush washer with a new one to prevent leaks.
  4. Remove the Oil Filter
    - Using an 8mm T-handle, remove the two bolts holding the oil filter cover. - Remove the cover and use pliers if needed to pull out the oil filter. - Carefully remove the old oil filter; allow any remaining oil to drain. - Wipe down the area with a clean rag.
  5. Inspect and Clean the Oil Screen
    The MC250F Factory Edition has an oil screen that should be cleaned at each oil change to capture any debris and prolong engine life. Remove and clean the oil screen as specified in your owner's manual before reinstalling.
  6. Install the New Oil Filter
    - Place the new filter into the engine, ensuring it seats properly. - Reinstall the oil filter cover and torque the bolts to manufacturer specs (check your manual for the torque value; do not overtighten).
  7. Reinstall the Drain Bolt
    - Once the oil has fully drained, replace the drain bolt with its new crush washer. - Tighten to manufacturer's torque specification (usually around 10 Nm/7 ft-lb, but confirm in your manual).
  8. Add New Oil
    - Using a funnel, pour in 1.0 liter of Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50 oil (standard spec for this model). - Only use the recommended amount; overfilling can be harmful.
  9. Check Oil Level
    - Start the engine and run it for 2-3 minutes, then turn off the bike and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. - Check the oil sight glass or dipstick to confirm the level is within the proper range (top off if needed; do not overfill).
  10. Dispose of Old Oil Responsibly
    Collect the old oil in a sealed container and return it to a recycling facility or service center.

Important Model-Specific Call-Outs for the 2024 MC250F Factory Edition

  • Stand Clearance: Use a stand that does not cover the drain bolt, as access is blocked with many conventional floor stands on the MC250F Factory Edition.
  • Crush Washer: Always use a new crush washer during each oil change to avoid leaks–the complete kit includes the correct part.
  • Oil Screen: Don't skip cleaning the oil screen at each oil change, as recommended in the owner's manual.
  • Torque Specification: Check your service manual for current drain bolt and cover bolt torque specs; incorrect torque can cause leaks or damage.
  • Oil Capacity: 1.0 liter of oil is standard; always verify against your owner's manual for the exact figure and proper oil type.

Final Precautions

  • Never run the engine with low or no oil—damage is immediate and severe.
  • Maximize reliability by changing oil every 10-15 hours of riding, or more often in harsh conditions.
  • Keep records of maintenance for warranty and resale value.
