How Many Liters of Engine Oil Should Be Added to a BMW G310 Motorcycle?
1 Answers
The recommended amount of engine oil for an oil change is approximately 6.5 liters. You can verify the exact oil level after adding the oil. Method for checking the oil level: After adding the oil, start the vehicle and then turn it off. Wait for 3 minutes before checking the oil level. This is because the oil filter also needs to be replaced during an oil change, and the new oil filter initially contains no oil. Starting the vehicle allows oil to flow into the filter. Waiting 3 minutes after turning off the engine ensures the oil drains back into the oil pan, providing a more accurate reading. The oil level must be within the specified range: Overfilling the oil can interfere with the normal operation of the crankshaft and increase fuel consumption. Specifically, when the crankshaft journal reaches the bottom dead center, it may come into contact with excess oil, creating resistance and affecting performance. Conversely, insufficient oil will not provide adequate lubrication, leading to accelerated wear of internal engine components and potential engine damage. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the oil level within the specified range.
