    Re: Honda CBR 250R

    About to change my engine oil in few days. Now I have 1 new bottle of Shell 1L and another half of it. I'm a bit curious whether that would suffice or not as this time I will change the oil filter. What do you guys suggest? Should I keep another bottle handy in case it requires a bit more oil during filter change?

      I have changed the oil + filter by using only 1.5L of oil. So you can go ahead and change without any worries. If you feel that the oil is low after riding, then buy a new bottle and top up to your satisfaction.

      But i have never filled 1.6L during my entire 6 services done which included oil filter change(unless the service center is generous enough not to bill the 100ml of oil they filled during the oil filter change)

        I would suggest keep an extra bottle handy. I think the oil requirements are 1.8 L. Putting in 1.5 L won't be a problem but keeping in mind that you won't need another oil change before 10000 kms, you'll probably have to top it up at 5000 kms. So fill in the required quantity (1.8l) and keep you can mix the remaining with the old container you have for a topup later.
        Never go back to Honda stock engine oil.:P

          Just an hour back when I started from office cranked the engine and it started as normal then suddenly it stopped, I thought it is due to quick clutch release but I was unsure. After that 4-5 attempts with throttle opening it started. Fuel level was 3 bars, what could be the issue. Bike is 3.3 years old and 17.5k on odo.

            Happens to me too. Honda says it's due to flooding of the engine.

              1.8l is the total engine oil capacity which is required when you open up the engine. During standard oil changes the recommended amount is 1.4l and with the oil filter replacement is 1.5l as far as i know.

                  Happened to me once recently. 38k on the odo. Definitely flooding. Rapidly throttling while starting seems to solve the problem.

                    May I ask which is the magic oil which lasts 10k kms? Are you using those intervals to change the oil in your CBR?

                      Shell Advance ultra 10W40. Shell boasts for it to double the oil change interval. So I decided to test it. Runs smooth till 10k.

                        Now, that's a revelation. Some guys who use Shell Advance ultra in their Discover and Splendor recommend 4k oil changed intervals. A few zma/zmr owners change their Shell Advance ultra at 2-4k kms. It's so frigging confusing, not to mention hilarious when you question them - they all mention smoothness as the deciding factor on oil change.

                          Personal experience mate. Could depend on the a riding style and conditions.

                            Do you really follow 10000kms interval for oil change? Per manual it's 6000kms and most of the ppl change it around 5000kms. I'm using Shell 10w40 too from last time. And now I have done 4500+kms and planning to change it after some where around 5200kms.

                            And just to mention I'm already feeling some thug thug gear shifting sometimes.

                              10k? How did you determine that the oil hadn't deteriorated by then? Or did you just top up and keep riding?

                                Yah man. I have followed the 10000km interval twice. For the 6000km service I check at the service station. When they gave the OK I checked the oil level and top it up.
