Alright, this is a bit complicated, and I may have messed up, but I need help.
I recently changed the engine oil at a mechanic, put Motul 7100 10w50. When I was cleaning my chain, I noticed that the engine oil level was too low. I thought the mechanic may have messed up and not filled enough as per the manual, i.e., 1.5l.
So, I filled it up by about 200 ml, and rode the bike for about 50 km. I noticed the bike was feeling stressed and louder. I checked online on some forums and realized that this is a common issue with Dominar to show low oil, and I was, in fact, running the right amount of oil.
I drained the oil and put in about 1.3 l back since the air filter would already have a bit of engine oil there.
My issue is, now the engine oil is foaming up.
So far, I haven't seen any leaks near the gaskets, nor there is any smoke coming out of the exhaust. Even the coolant level hasn't gone down. I also thought it must've been condensation, so I rode the bike for 100 km to make the engine hot enough. Still the bubbles are there.
Is the oil gone bad? Or is it something worse? Should I just change the oil and move on?
I went to the SVC and he said something about voiding the warranty, so yes, I messed up big time. They have told me they will get back to me soon, but I hig
This is my first post here, so I apologize if I have broken any rule. Thank you!!
