How much engine oil should be added to the Liexing?

[VanPaislee]

The Liexing's manual and oil dipstick indicate that 0.7 liters should be added. The oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. In practice, the amount can vary by about 10% above or below this quantity. Adding too little is not acceptable, and adding too much can also be harmful. Additional information: Below are the disadvantages of adding too much engine oil to a motorcycle: 1. Overfilling with oil can cause oil leakage: High crankcase pressure can easily cause the oil seals on the crankcase to leak due to the excessive oil pressure. It also affects heat dissipation and increases the resistance on the crankshaft, thereby increasing fuel consumption. 2. Impact on power and fuel consumption: Excessive oil may enter the air filter, causing insufficient air intake and affecting combustion, which in turn affects power and fuel consumption. 3. Easier stalling at idle: If the pressure is too high, oil may enter the combustion chamber, causing carbon buildup on the spark plug, making the motorcycle more prone to stalling at idle.

Having worked in an auto repair shop for many years, I know that the oil quantity for the Honda Clique 125 motorcycle must be measured accurately. Typically, an engine oil change requires about 0.9 liters, depending on whether the oil filter is replaced: if a new filter is installed, it may take up to 1.0 liters, otherwise, 0.9 liters is sufficient. I've serviced many bikes—adding too little oil means the oil pump can't draw enough, leading to engine overheating and cylinder damage; overfilling increases oil pressure, causing seal leaks and wasted fuel. I recommend buying a 1L oil bottle, using a simple measuring cup to pour out 0.9 liters, then starting the engine and waiting 2-3 minutes before checking the dipstick to ensure the level is between the min and max marks. Check the oil level every 500 km—don’t slack off—to ensure smooth engine operation and longevity. While 0.9 liters is a standard reference, variations between models and years exist, so always consult the manual for the most reliable guidance. Spending a few extra bucks on a dedicated measuring tool is worth the peace of mind.

I believe safety comes first when riding, and the engine oil level must be precise. I often ride a Honda CB125, and adding 0.9 liters of oil is just right, with a range of 0.8 to 1.0 liters being acceptable but avoiding overfilling. Adding too little may cause the engine to overheat and lose control, affecting speed management; adding too much makes the bike feel sluggish and emit strange odors, increasing risks. Every time I change the oil, I measure 0.9 liters with an oil can and pour it in, then take a short ride to check the dipstick level is within the proper range. Beginners shouldn’t rush through the process—taking 5 minutes to do it carefully brings peace of mind. Develop the habit of regular oil checks; don’t wait for problems to arise before panicking. This small maintenance routine can prevent major accidents.

DIY car maintenance saves money and brings joy. Changing the oil on my Honda Scooter was a breeze. After draining the old oil, I simply added about 0.9 liters of new oil – just pour 90% from a 1L bottle using a funnel. Checking the dipstick to ensure the level is right in the middle means perfect measurement, never overfill. Basic tools like a wrench and a bucket cost just over ten bucks, and the whole oil change took only 20 minutes – full of fun. Using 0.9 liters of oil is economical and hassle-free. Get into the habit of checking fluids monthly for peace of mind.
