Hey guys how many quarts does a 200cc litany motor take, enduro, 2008. And what type?

I think all the Chinese manuf. recommend 10w-40 (Many use Rotella-T), and 1 liter capacity for the 200cc's.

1 Liter 10W/40. Any brand will do as long as its not 'Energy COnserving'. Those are not good for wet clutches.

How many quarts in that? 1 quart or 1.5 quarts I don't know liters

SpudRider · 02-11-2013, 02:51 AM

One liter is equal to 1.06 quarts, or 1 quart and 2 ounces.

First oil change on it, 92 miles down!

If you have a sight glass, just use that; don't worry too much about the actual quantity. Make sure that the bike is plumb and level when checking the sight glass.

Is it normal to have to lean the bike alittle towards the glass side to see it fill up?

With my Zongshen/Yamaha engine, I can't see the oil level until the bike is nearly vertical. You can't get an accurate oil measurement unless the bike is vertical.

When mine is perfectly vertical it shows nothing, lean it a tad bit and it fills up n stops at h mark

Weldangrind · 02-11-2013, 10:38 PM

If you're not seeing oil at the full mark with the bike vertical, the oil level is too low.

Well I put a whole quart in. I'll add more tomorriw

FastDoc · 02-11-2013, 11:00 PM

A little more. The extra 1/10th may put it in the sightglass.
