• FRVelion Recommendation When should you change
  your Bike Engine oil?
• Changing bike engine oil depends on the types of
  oil used by you during the last oil change.
• If you are using mineral-based bike oil for
  your bike then you need to change your bike
  engine oil after 2,000 miles. But in case you do
  not use your bike regularly, then you can change
  the oil at least twice a year.
• But if you are using the semi-synthetic bike
  oil then you have to change the bike engine oil
  after 5000 or 6000 miles.
• For those who are using the fully-synthetic bike
  oil can change the bike engine oil after 7000
  to 10,000 miles.
• However, if you travel long distances daily or
  uses your bike every day then you need to change
  your bike engine oil very frequently whether
  youre using fully-synthetic. Semi-synthetic or
  mineral-based motor oil.
• FRVelion Tips to Consider While Changing Bike Oil
• Here FRVelion sharing some tips which you need to
  follow while changing your bike oil -
• Prepare for the Process
• Before changing the bike oil, gather all the
  things which you need for changing the bike oil.
  Things include the new oil filter, new engine
  Oil, drain pan, measuring beaker, basic toolset,
  funnel, and cleaning need some spare rags.
• Before proceeding to the next step, keep sure
  your bike is on the centre stand.
• Putting a bike on the centre stand, it is easier
  for you to reach the bike engine and ensure the
  bikes stability.
• Used Oil Disposal
• The next step comes to the disposal of the used
  oil by draining it onto a drain pan carefully.
• Make sure to know where is a valve from which the
  bike oil drained because different bike models
  have different valve locations.
• With the help of the wrench to remove the Drain
  bolt and allow the used bike oil to run out.
• Now you need to tilt the bike at an angle of 45
  degrees and hold the bike for some minutes.

• Now you have to refer to the service manual that
  accompanied your motorbike then measure the bike
  oil needed in a beaker.
• Open the valve and place a funnel for aiding the
  flow of the engine oil.
• Now finally pour the fresh new oil into the
  engine and then start the without revving. You
  need to do this step as it will allow the new
  engine oil to circulate easily.
• Car Engine Oil Vs Bike Engine Oil
• You all might have heard that not all oils are
  the same. This is very true when it comes to bike
  and car engine oils. For those who are riding
  bike newly, it might be tempting to them thinking
  changing bike engine oil is the same as changing
  car engine oil. Maybe you will think what the
  difference is after all oil is oil, but it is
  not like that using the wrong oil for your bike
  can seriously damage your bike. While pouring
  oil process may be the same but the formulation
  and the purpose of the oils are different.
• Car Engine Oil
• Car engine oils contain the lubricate additives
  and viscosity modifiers that generally help to
  increase the cars engine efficiency.
• Car engine oils also contain detergent
  additives whose ash content is relatively very
  high. If this is used in the bike engines then
  these will result in the formation of the
  deposits on the valve train as well as on the
  piston crowns.
• Bike Engine Oil
• Bike engines have smaller sump than the car
  engines so their oil volume is also smaller.
• Bikes run at a higher RPM as compared with the
  car engines (sometimes double) and also have a
  higher operating temperature. High RPM use,
  smaller volume, and high temperature can put
  more strain on the engine oil, which is far more
  than the automotive applications.
• Bike oils are formulated to manage the
  transmission, more precisely, the wet clutches
  found in most of the bikes. To protect the
  engines, the oil needs to be slippery enough, but
  not too slippery. This means they strike a
  perfect balance between the engine, clutch
  performance, and transmission protection. This
  is something that is generally not considered in
  the manufacturing of car engine oils.
• In simple words, we can say that bike engine oils
  have different Viscosity profile as compared
  with the car engine oils because bike engine
  oils need to be thin when cold, just for the
  easier starting and for cold flow and it needs
  to be thick when hot just to maintain the
  adequate film strength.

Conclusion According to the FRVelion, changing
the bike engine oil depends on a variety of
factors like if you are a hardcore rider and use
mineral-based oil then you need to change the oil
after 2000 or 3000 miles. As compared with the
mineral-based oil synthetic motor oil last longer
and you need to change the oil after 5000 to
6000 miles. FRVelion suggests you to always check
your bikes oil level. Having clean bike oil is
good but maintaining the correct amount of the
oil inside the crankcase is always better. Also,
make sure while changing the bike oil that there
should be no leakages around, and properly check
all the screws that they are tightened unlikely
to leak. With the help of the spare rags, clean
any remaining bike oil from the surface of the
bike.
