  • There are different views on this point. You can follow a few guidelines based on your usage.
  • If the bike is used for longer distances at a stretch you need to use the oil every 5000 kms.
  • If you are using your bike for shorter trips, you may need to change the oil too often.
  • Hot and dusty conditions cause the oil to be changed very often.


  • Ideally, you need to change the oil at least every 5000 kms. If you are abusing the bike or riding your bike at the maximum speed, you will need to change the oil more often which means around every 3000 kms.

  • You must change the engine oil of your bike in a specific period of time and as per my opinion you must change the engine oil of your bike between 10-12 months. If any of the below mentioned points are valid in your case, then I strongly recommend you to change the engine oil:

    • If your Bike has covered 2800kms-3000kms from last engine oil

    • If your bike has traveled regularly for 1 year time

    • If your engine oil color turns black


    You must take proper care to change the engine oil of your bike.

    I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

  • You can change the engine oil in your bike once in a every month if you are daily riding your bike for more than 40 kilometers.
