Engine Oil and Filter Change for a Kawasaki KX450F

Model: Kawasaki Kx450f
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

Descriptive guide for changing the engine oil of a Kawasaki KX450F. Obtain 1L of Motul 5100 SAE 10W40 oil and an Hiflo HF112 oil filter. Place the bike on a central or side lift.

Start the engine and let it warm up, then turn it off. Place a container for collecting the oil under the engine. Using a ratchet and a 12mm socket, unscrew the oil drain plug located under the engine.

There is no need to remove the bash plate, as it has a hole for unscrewing the plug. Let all the oil drain out. Using a ratchet and a 10mm socket, unscrew the two screws holding the oil filter cover on the right side of the engine.

Replace the filter and screw the cover and drain plug back on. Open the oil filler cap located on the right side of the casing. Pour in the oil using a funnel.
