Change oil

Al · 07-16-2017, 02:07 PM

How often after the first oil change should I change my oil? Every tank, 10 hours,. Looking for a ball park number. I am using Rotella 1540 oil.
Thanks

I've been changing mine every 20 to 30 hours on the CG engine but you didn't mention which engine you have. The owners manual that came with the Rhino says oil change every 160 hours which I think is way too long.

My manual says I have a 154fmi engine.

Probably a horizontal Honda clone 125cc. In a quad these engines work hard and run hot. I'd go for 20 hours and check to see if the oil is looking dark. Run it longer if it still looks clean.

Did an oil change today. wow is it ever dirty!!!!! I used the rottela 15 40. I am going to try amsoil 10 40 see if I get better results. I was having the hardest time turning over the engine can't believe what a difference an oil change makes. It's like new again. Just waiting for a carb now
