- Change your motorcycle's oil yourself and save some money!
NOTE: Honda recommends 10w-30 motorcycle oil for cooler climates. I use 10w-40 for better protection during high temps and because I mostly ride in summer. Either oil is fine to use, but 10w-40 is recommended for warmer climates.

UK manual states oil and filter every 8000 miles. Strange why there is a difference. Also 10/30 oil. Do you find any difference with the 10/40 as i see a lot of people use it rather than the 10/30.?
That seems odd. What year is your bike? I've read that the maintenance schedule vary by year, but I don't know why it would be different in the UK vs. USA. I'm not sure if there is a perceivable difference between the 10w-30 and 10w-40 oils, but the '40 is recommended for warmer climates and harder riding. Either oil should be fine unless you are racing your bike or live in an extreme climate.
@@EndlessMoneyPits mine is a 2015 500f. I had a crf 250 and some USA folk said that Honda book said it is ok to do you own service keeping receipts, but in the UK the book said have the dealer do it. It is strange why they change certain bits, for the same bike, but in different countries. I just have some 10/40 left over, so i thought it would be fine to use it, as others seem to use it with no problems.
@@fhtrucker62 As long as it's motorcycle oil and not car oil, Honda says 10w-40 should not cause any problems. If you really want an in-depth answer, send an oil sample to Blackstone Laboratories for analysis. I sent in a couple samples recently from my car and the results have been very insightful. They will also tell you what most other people use and what oil may be best for you.
Excellent video! Well explained and detailed! Great Job!
@@kevinbodnar3246 Thank you!
Extremely well done video! So professional, I'm surprised Honda isn't paying you for it lol
That is an awesome compliment - thank you! I am kind of a perfectionist, so I spend a lot of time making these videos. Thanks again!
Very informative video.
Will be getting my first bike soon and it will most likely be the 2017 Graphite Black Honda CBR500R. Extremely hyped at the moment!
Once again, cheers for the video!
Great choice! Thank you, I appreciate it!
I got the exactly same bike same color :D. I did this oil change myself around a month ago :) perfect video editing.
I saw your past video of the air filter (my next thing to do) . keep the videos going.
Thanks for the encouragement! I really like making these videos and this is great to hear!
Sorry for the low volume on this video! Here's a link to a louder version if you need it:

Going to try and get this done tomorrow
Nice! Mine is due again too.
@@EndlessMoneyPits this my second one in 2 months lol. Just did it again this week
Lucid explanation, thank for your work !
I appreciate it! Ride safe.
nice clear video :) subbed
It’s not just the mileage to change oil. Honda also says 1 year regardless of miles.
Yep. I covered that at the 17 second mark.
Great video, thanks
Great video man! Watching from the United Kingdom! What I really want to know is where did you get the crash bungs for the bike? Do you have a link?
Thank you! This was one of my first videos. Those parts are not made anymore, unfortunately. I got them on eBay 5 or 6 years ago.
Imagine how many people will put a plastic bag down there with a hot exhaust 😂
The exhaust seems to cool down pretty fast on this bike but people are capable of some surprising things.
Good thing i dont need the magnetic drain plug. I change the oil in my bike every 2,500 miles. Why give the oil a reason to break down at 8,000 miles right?
Hi, Nick. This is a very complex and controversial subject, so I’ll try to keep my opinion brief. For starters, I believe oil should be changed once a year at minimum, even if you ride zero miles that year. I am reading that some manufacturers even suggest replacing oil twice a year because synthetic oil and its detergents break down rather quickly - so, changing it every 2,500 miles is probably a smart move for you. With that said, metal shavings will still be produced during normal riding no matter how fresh your oil is, and they will not completely be removed by simply draining the oil. *In my opinion*, a magnetic drain plug will be beneficial to your engine health regardless of how often you change the oil because it quickly captures a great deal of the metal shavings. Now that you’ve got me thinking about this, I’ll consider sending in a sample of used oil for analysis when I change it again next winter, and maybe another the following year after riding a season with the normal drain plug for comparison. Thanks for the interesting comment!
@@EndlessMoneyPits your welcome. Ill probly do the same thing with the drain plug. But the 8,000 miles on regular engine oil though is a bit excessive. Because filtered oil ( non synthetic) in a car is roughly 5 to 6 quarts and its said to change it every 3,000 miles and in your bike its 3 quarts with a filter and a high-ish rpm engine, oil breaks down slightly quicker in a higher rpm engine. If you want you can try changing the oil at 3,000 miles and see if you notice a diffrence between 8,000 miles or 3,000 miles when you ride it or as it runs. (Just a suggestion.)
@@SHOINOFF Well, Honda recommends oil changes every 8,000 miles or once a year, but in the video I changed my oil after riding only 4,500 miles for the year. I agree, 8k mile oil change intervals are not a good idea, and are probably designed to increase sales - not engine life. I would never go that long without changing it on a bike I care about, but somewhere between 3-5k miles is probably reasonable. Again, it's a complex topic and I am not an oil expert by any means.
@@EndlessMoneyPits me neither but its a high rpm engine. Ide think it would be safe to change it at 3,000 miles at the max no matter what the oil looks like. I still change mine at 2,500.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the video, can I ask what crash bungs are on your bike and are they easy to install? Thanks Steve
I got them on eBay years ago and can't find them anymore. No name brand. Sorry!
what is the recommendation miles to change oil?
On this bike you should be changing the oil every 8,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. If you track your bike or ride it really hard, you should change the oil more often than that.
Perfect...
How did you know when to stop putting oil in? Did you measure out 2.7L?
Hoping i can do this with the fairing still on, i dont mind taking them off but its a hassle lol
Have you had any issue with leaks, seals or being difficult to take off after torqueing both down?
I used a marker to draw a line on the oil bottle at the level of how much oil should be left over, and poured it in until I got to that point. I should have shown that but this was one of my very early videos. You do not need to remove the fairings, to change the oil so don't worry about that. I haven't had any leaks whatsoever on this bike, nor any problems with taking things apart after torquing to spec. - it's been fantastic in every respect. If you do need to take the fairings off in the future, I have a video showing how to do it easily. It sure is intimidating the first time though... Ha. Let me know if you have any more questions, I'm happy to help.
@@EndlessMoneyPits appreciate the fact youre still responding to comments even 2 years on!
when you say you drew a line, how did you know that was 2.7 and not say 3? I'm planning to do this next week on my 19 when weather turns from good to bad, ordered all the bits including a strap wrench, gonna use the strap wrench to torque it down a bit more after hand tight, and then torque wrench for the sump. Very detailed, will probs ask a few question on other vids as all fluids need doing as per the interval (2 and 3 year). :)
@@spirittx3604 Oh, no problem. These videos encompass my life now haha. There should be marks on the side of the bottle. It comes with about 3.7 liters and we are using, 2.7, so you can draw a line right at the 1 liter mark. I think in quarts, so I did 4 qt - 2.9 qt and drew a line just above the 1 quart mark. There's no problem if it's a couple tenths above or below the amount it "should be", but try to be as accurate as possible. Also double check the level through the little window on the side of the engine with the oil completely warm and the bike perfectly upright. Oil expands a lot when it heats up, so it may look like the level is low when the oil is cold. Totally normal. The oil filters are meant to be installed by hand, so be careful not to get it too tight. It could actually cause a leak if the rubber gasket gets compressed too much. The torque wrench will come in handy for you often, so I'm glad you decided to get one! I'll be putting out some videos soon covering ALL the scheduled maintenance on these bikes, so stay tuned. Good luck with the oil change and ride safe :)
@@EndlessMoneyPits i did a lot when i had my cbr125r so i have most the tools i need anyway, never did any fluid changes though. That saying, a job goes much smoother when you can *actually* find tutorials on any unsure parts, the fact the 500r is near enough the same throughout all years is excellent as same stuff will apply, if i get stuck, your videos seem more than plenty to provide the info i might need compared to most out there. Even if nothing is learnt, you might have a trick that helps spedd up the process or make life easier to pass on. Who knows! One of the best things about the riding community 👍
Do you recommend blowing the tank with compressed air to get the oil out? or does it damage the internals? thanks!
I don't think that's necessary and I've never heard of anyone doing that. Too much pressure could certainly blow a seal somewhere, but I'm not sure how much it would take. I think your best bet is to make sure the oil is warm so it drains out well, and change it at least once a year so carbon doesn't build up or seep into the bearings and seals. If you ride a lot then you should change the oil more often. You can get an oil analysis done for about $30 if you are curious about the condition of the oil when you change it, and there are "oil flush" products you can buy for an extra deep clean, but you shouldn't need that unless the engine has been neglected. I have a video about having oil analysis done on my BMW, so check that out if you are curious about what the lab would be able to tell you.
@@EndlessMoneyPits Very helpful thank you! Subbed!
@@itconsgenioI wouldn’t do that. Compressed air isn’t that clean as it seems to be. Of the compressor tank is dirty or corroded, you’ll blow dirty air into your engine. Also unnecessary dirt, dust and debris will get into the engine… 😮
Hello, where can I buy the rear fender? Thanks!
There's a link for the rear tire hugger in the description along with links for the other mods I've done.
10W40 ? is not the 10W30 recommended ? or is it 10w40 better ?
Honda says either oil is okay for the 500r, but the 10w-40 should be more protective in hot climates. Honestly, I think I went with the 10w-40 because it was a bit cheaper. I'll do an oil analysis on my next oil change to see how it's holding up.
Does it also apply to cbr500r 2015?
Yes, the procedure should be the same for bikes made between 2013 and 2021. I don't believe the motor has changed in that time.
I have same bike as you.. can you tell me about those slides
I got them from a Chinese seller on ebay in 2017 for $54 USD. I just looked to see if they are still available but I can't find them anymore. There are other designs that are just as good or better, but these are the only ones I've used personally.
@@EndlessMoneyPits thanks 🙏
