Changing the oil on your 2025 Sherco 250 SE Factory is a vital part of maintaining the performance, reliability, and longevity of your dirt bike. This step-by-step guide—exclusive to MotoSport.com—details everything you need, with model-specific notes for the 2025 Sherco 250 SE FACTORY.

Tools and Materials Needed

  • 10mm and 17mm sockets or wrenches (for drain and fill bolts)
  • Torque wrench (for accurate bolt tightening)
  • Rubber gloves (for protection)
  • Oil catch pan (to collect old oil)
  • New crush washers (replace with every oil change)
  • Funnel (for easy pouring)
  • Clean rags
  • 2025 Sherco 250 SE Factory recommended engine oil: SAE 5W40, 1 liter

Model-Specific Call-Outs

  • The 2025 Sherco 250 SE FACTORY features dual oil drain bolts underneath the engine. Both must be removed to drain oil completely.
  • The oil should be changed every 6000 kilometers (approx. 4000 miles) or more frequently if riding in demanding conditions.
  • Replace the copper crush washers on the drain bolts each time to prevent leaks.
  • Do not use an impact tool on drain bolts to avoid thread damage.

Step-by-Step Oil Change Procedure

  1. Warm Up the Engine
    • Start your bike and let it run for a few minutes. This allows the oil to warm up, making it thinner and easier to drain.
    • Turn off the engine and wait for a minute or two to cool slightly. Do not attempt to drain completely hot oil to avoid burns.
  2. Position the Bike
    • Stand the dirt bike upright on a center stand, paddock stand, or place it on level ground. This ensures all the oil drains evenly.
  3. Remove the Skid Plate (if equipped)
    • If your Sherco is equipped with a skid plate, remove it to access the oil drain bolts. Use the appropriate Allen or socket wrench.
  4. Place Oil Catch Pan
    • Slide the oil catch pan under the engine to catch all draining oil.
  5. Remove Both Oil Drain Bolts
    • Use a 17mm socket/wrench to loosen and remove both oil drain bolts, located on the lowest part of the crankcase. Carefully set aside the bolts and old crush washers.
    • Allow all oil to drain. Tilt the bike gently if needed to ensure complete drainage

      .
  6. Replace Crush Washers & Reinstall Drain Bolts
    • Install new copper crush washers onto each bolt for a proper seal.
    • Thread both drain bolts by hand, then tighten securely to 7 Nm (Newton meters) using a torque wrench

      .
  7. Remove Oil Fill Plug
    • Locate the oil fill plug, typically on the right side of the engine. Remove it using the proper tool.
  8. Refill with New Oil
    • Using a funnel, fill the crankcase with 1 liter of SAE 5W40 oil as specified for the 2025 SE Factory

      .
    • Fill until oil escapes from the oil level check screw (if equipped), or check the sight glass or dipstick as per owner–s manual.
  9. Reinstall Oil Fill Plug & Skid Plate
    • Wipe away any oil residue. Reinstall and tighten the oil fill plug. If you removed the skid plate, reinstall it securely.
  10. Start and Check for Leaks
    • Start the engine and let it idle for a couple of minutes.
    • Inspect the drain bolts, fill plug, and skid plate area for any oil leaks.
    • Stop the engine and, after waiting a minute, verify the oil level again; top off if necessary.

Final Tips and Owner Advice

  • Always use recommended oil grades and capacities for optimal performance and warranty protection.
  • Dispose of used oil responsibly at your local recycling facility or automotive store.
  • Keep a service log noting date, oil type, and hours or mileage at change for future reference.
