Engine Oil and Filter
Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting
engine service life. Change the engine oil as
specified in the maintenance schedule (page
70).
When running in very dusty conditions, oil
changes should be performed more frequently
than specified in the maintenance schedule.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner
that is compatible with the environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to your
local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or
pour it on the ground or down a drain.
Changing the oil filter requires a special oil
filter tool and a torque wrench. If you do not
have these tools and the necessary skill, we
recommend that you have your authorized
Honda dealer perform this service.
If a torque wrench is not used for this
installation, see your authorized Honda dealer
as soon as possible to verify proper assembly.
Change the engine oil with the engine at
normal operating temperature and the
motorcycle on its side stand to assure complete
and rapid draining.
