How many milliliters of engine oil should be added to the UY125?
3 Answers
When the engine oil is completely drained, the UY125 can be filled with 650ml of oil. However, it is generally difficult to achieve this, so adding approximately 600ml is sufficient in practice. Types of engine oil suitable for the UY125: According to the UY125 manual, you should purchase SG, SH, SJ, or SL grade 10W-40W four-stroke motorcycle engine oil. For most motorcycles, during the break-in period of a new bike, the first oil change is typically required between 500–1000 kilometers, followed by subsequent oil changes every 2000 kilometers. How to handle overfilling engine oil: You can use the pump mechanism from a shampoo or detergent bottle to remove excess oil. The oil level should remain within the range marked on the dipstick.
I've been riding my Suzuki UY125 for several years. Every time I change the oil, I add about 700ml, usually fluctuating between 650ml to 750ml, depending on the manual's recommendation or actual drainage situation. If too little oil is added, the oil pressure will be insufficient, causing engine noise and accelerated wear; adding too much oil can easily increase oil temperature, leading to oil leaks from seals or increased fuel consumption. I prefer changing the oil when the engine is cold, letting the bike sit for an hour first, then unscrewing the oil pan bolt to drain the old oil, adding new oil, and finally checking the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it's in the middle of the marked lines. Although it's a simple task, getting the amount right makes the bike run smoother and avoids expensive engine repairs from breakdowns on the road.
When adding engine oil to the UY125, I usually pour in about 650ml, and the upper limit should not exceed 750ml. As an ordinary car owner, I believe the most crucial thing is to change the oil regularly without delaying too long—every 3,000 kilometers or every six months. For beginners, first turn off the engine and let it cool for half an hour, then find a level ground to place an oil pan to catch the old oil. Before adding new oil, wipe the dipstick clean to check the level, keeping it in the middle range. Don’t skimp on oil quality either; choosing synthetic oil can extend the engine’s lifespan. This method is worry-free and safe, avoiding the danger of sudden engine shutdowns on the highway.
