oil change ??

[crim 87]

hey guys did the first oil change on my bike filled it up with the new oil almost 4 liters and started it once i had filled it up and oil is coming out from a pipe at the back of the motor ?? have i just over filled it ?? and the engine is sounding a lil different now to like its not running right or something ??

Sounds like you put 3 litres too much in...

 

[crim 87]

oh really **** the dude at the shop told me it would take all 4 liters god damn it

 

[WyldOne]

What bike is it?

 

[crim 87]

pit pro big foot 140

if its chinese, sounds like one, someone was trying to make a sale of four versus one litre of oil, and two, wanted you to kill it, so as to be able to sell you a new jap bike...wasnt a yamaha dealer by any chance was it?

um, did you ever stop to wonder what the dipstick is for? they dont include them with the engine for nothing, you realise...

im amazed you even got 4 litres into it...id say youve just rooted your engine...

 

[crim 87]

yeah i checked the dipstick before hand to see the level. then after it seemed pretty full so tryed to start it but **** was coming out the pipe out the back ive drained about 2 litres from it and will try and start it tommoz hope all goes well and no it wasn't yamaha

 

[crim 87]

do you reckon its worth totally draining it and starting again from scratch ?

 

[headsmess]

yes, with just one litre this time...not even...900 ml...

 

[squeemy]

4L .... wow !!

Yep, drain it & start again. Hopefully no long term engine damage. I've got a pitpro 125R and I use 900ml changed regularly.

So when you removed the old engine oil, you didn't notice how little there was compared to how much you where told to put in it/ did put in it?

 

[Shing]

foolsp33d. What the hell was going on in that video?!?!?

 

[headsmess]

what i love about that video is they run it for over a minute in the hope it may just stop smoking....omfg....

this is a thread that shall just keep giving...

 

[crim 87]

thanks guys will def know for future ref now what permanent damage can occur ?? i wana go back to the shop and have a lil chat with the dude that told me it was 4 litres

 

[DvDRip]

what shop was it? jap bikes? if it's jap bikes the guys gonna be laughing all day if you go back and tell him what happened. is the bike new or second hand? didn't you get the service info they give ya?

He probably asked the guy at the shop "How much oil will it take to FILL my motor ?"... instead of asking how much oil it takes to fill to the top mark on the dipstick ... So the guy (thinking about the overall size of a horizontal engine) has told him about 4 litres ... LOL ... A V8 car engine would take about 3 buckets of oil to FILL ...
