Tips for Oil Refilling on a Motorcycle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to check the engine oil level in your motorcycle. Motorcycles have a sight glass that allows the user to check the oil level, which should be between the two marks on the side of the sight glass.

When you see that the oil is just visible in the sight glass, it does not mean you are out of oil, but that you are at the minimum level, which means you have at least three and a half litres of oil. The difference between the minimum and maximum levels is approximately half a litre.

Having too much oil circulating is definitely harmful, as it can damage some parts of the vehicle when heated during use. The refill cap is located where the YouTuber shows, above the engine.

When you do not see oil in the sight glass, add it in small amounts to avoid overfilling.
