How many kilometers should a 125cc scooter go before changing the oil?
1 Answers
This depends on the model and usage duration. Here is the relevant information: 1. Based on the model: Domestic common cross-type and underbone models require oil changes every 2,000 kilometers with standard oil. Domestic scooters require oil changes every 800 to 1,500 kilometers with standard oil. Of course, synthetic oils like Mobil 1 can be changed every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. 2. Based on usage duration: Generally, the first oil change should be at 500 kilometers, the second at 1,000 kilometers for a full service, and then every 1,000 kilometers or around every six months thereafter. During the break-in period, due to the relatively rough friction between parts, small metal particles are generated. After three oil changes, once the break-in period is over, changing the oil every 2,000 kilometers ridden is sufficient.
