My babe is on her day of second servicing.
"ll take her back today evening.

EDIT:

Back from second service and am now in a shock. Am looking onto you all to clear me on this doubt.

My odo is 3.4k and I last changed oil at .5k during first service. Today when I went to get her back after the second service, the ASC people told me that I can take my bike and am not charged anything. I was totally shocked.


So, what to do now? Am totally in confused state. Help me here guys!

Although, I have told them that I'll back after a couple of weeks and they agreed to change the engine oil, but that too they advised me on just topping up of oil and change is not needed. I don't know why they are so hesitant to change the oil when am willing to pay for it.

The guy who service CBR was called and he told me that the oil was upto the level and no oil change is required. I was like WTF!? In the morning, I specially mentioned to change the engine oil and the guy who checked the bike in even noted that on the job sheet, but in the evening they are like why to change the oil when it is good. They are even saying that they checked the quality of the oil and its viscosity and both are good.

By question is on the basis of,
at the back of 2nd service coupon, it is mentioned to replace engine oil and so is at the back of 3rd and 4th. So, a change is evident for every 3.5k-4k kms. And out of my 3.5k kms, above 95% was on highways and around 100kmph and this include even 2 hours of triple digit speeds a couple of times. I didn't follow any rpm limit for run-in. I just rode as I would right from the day of purchase.

They don’t know what they are doing in the disguise of helping others and will never understand that keeping mum is always better than frightening others with their Solomonic opinions.

Bro! I cant say anything about this as we are all initial owners. But I think there should be oil change for every 2500 kms. Maybe after 10000 kms, we can extend the interval because by that time, the bike would be well set.

As far as I know the recommended first oil change of CBR150R is at 1000 kms and the next at 8000, i.e. after 7000 kms from the first oil change or within six months from the date of purchase and the subsequent changes at the time of every alternative servicing which comes to 8000 kms. If you think this period is too much, let me say the engineers designing the bike are deciding the viscosity of oil to be filled and the interval between each replacement.
But I am not sure about it as I don’t have this bike. Read the user’s manual and check the service coupon again. If the letters “I, TU” is there, it is “Inspect and Top Up if necessary”. Usually the letter “R” is used to denote replacement.
If replacement is recommended, do it yourself with 1 liter of any good, I mean the one you trust, oil of the suggested viscosity.
Usually the SCs don’t have any viscous meters except the greasy fingers of the mechanic.
Don’t be panicked by reading commends of some ‘super experts’ including me all over every thread. They don’t know what they are doing in the disguise of helping others and will never understand that keeping mum is always better than frightening others with their Solomonic opinions.

Honda's ASC used oil should probably be mineral cause that's what they use it on all bikes. Moreover, when they changed oil for my first service, 1.1L was quoted a price of 600 Rs. So, that should be mineral, right??



Get yourself corrected, please. The facts are, first change at 1000kms as you said and next is at 3500-4000 and next at 7500-8000 and then at 11500-12000. So, it should be at every 2500-3000 kms. And all these are stated from the user manual. I guess, what you suggest is fro the use of FS oil and am sure that Honda ASC's oil ain't that. I have already mentioned in my query that, the replacement of engine oil is mentioned at the back of every free service coupon which states the above said intervals. And its not 'inspect and replace if necessary', its just 'replace'.


So, I have decided to change the engine oil myself. Its not about wasting the 'okay' oil, but about me riding with a satisfied heart.
The back cover of my user manual states that Honda is using a API SJ 20W40 oil 4-stroke oil. Could I get the same grade outside or, if it is better to use someother grades?

And, thanks for all "Super-Experts" :P who replied.

Neevarp, I checked the Honda site and they only have SS oil for Honda CBR. I think they use this oil.
Honda
And try to get Motul oil. Its got really a lot of positive reviews.

I'd got first service done a couple of days ago, and the service center guy said CBR comes with fully synth oil from factory. And was charged ~Rs 500 for the oil change, clearly mentioned as 10w30 fully synth oil in the bill. High revving engine, so FS is understandable.

So, can I go with Motul 10W40 coz, 10W30 is only available as mineral.?
But note that, its mentioned in Motul website itself is that they recommend the later for Honda Motorcycles which uses a 10W30.
