How many liters of oil does the Jinjila 300 require for an oil change?
3 Answers
It requires approximately 1.5 liters of oil. Here is a partial introduction to the Jinjila 300: Appearance: The overall appearance of the Jinjila 300 gives a refreshing impression. Compared to other models in the same class, it is not only more elegant and beautiful but also more compact and harmonious. Especially with the embellishment of the V-twin engine, the entire vehicle looks more stylish and has its own design language. It is not just a cruiser-style motorcycle but also exudes a sense of power and premium quality. Performance: The Jinjila 300 is equipped with a V-twin liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine. This engine features a four-valve-per-cylinder design, delivering a maximum power of 22.5 KW and a maximum torque of 25.3 N.m.
I'm quite familiar with this, having ridden the Jinjila 300 for ten years. The manual states an oil change requires 1.8 liters, but you need to be careful during the actual process. If you're replacing the oil filter as well, the new filter acts like a sponge and absorbs some oil, but generally 1.8 liters is still sufficient. However, there are specifics to the procedure: when draining the old oil, fully loosen the drain bolt and let it drip for five minutes. If you rush to reinstall the bolt before the oil has completely drained, the final oil level will appear higher. My approach is to add 1.7 liters first, run the engine for a few kilometers, then check the dipstick after turning it off. The oil level should be right in the middle of the scale. By the way, the manufacturer recommends 10W-50 grade oil, but you can use 5W-50 in colder weather.
Last time at the dealership, I watched the mechanic change the oil for my Jinjila 300. I specifically checked the measuring cup. After draining the old oil for ten minutes and installing the new copper washer and oil filter, he first poured about 1.6 liters, started the engine, and shut it off once the oil light went out. Then, he pulled out the dipstick, wiped it clean, reinserted it, and checked—sure enough, it was still some distance from the upper limit. The mechanic added another 100 milliliters, bringing the total to around 1.7 liters, which was just right. He mentioned that this bike's oil pan has a unique shape, holding less oil than typical 300cc engines. If you just pour the whole 2-liter bottle without checking, the excessive oil pressure could damage the crankshaft oil seal and might even cause leaks.
