Engine Oil
Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting engine
service life. Change the engine oil as specified in the
maintenance schedule (page 48).
When running in very dusty conditions, oil changes
should be performed more frequently than specified in
the maintenance schedule.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it
in a sealed container to your local recycling center or
service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the
trash or pour it on the ground or down a drain.
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left
in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although
this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily
basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands
with soap and water as soon as possible after handling
used oil.
Changing the oil requires a torque wrench. If you do
not have it and the necessary skill, we recommend
that you have your Honda dealer perform this service.
If a torque wrench is not used for this installation, see
your Honda dealer as soon as possible to verify proper
assembly.
Change the engine oil with the engine at normal
operating temperature and the motorcycle on its side
stand to assure complete and rapid draining.
1. To drain the oil, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and
oil drain bolt (1) and sealing washer (2).
2. (NXR150 KS only)
Operate the kickstarter several times to aid in
complete draining of the remaining oil.

3. Check that the sealing washer on the drain bolt is in
good condition and install the plug. Replace the
sealing washer every other time the oil is changed,
or each time if necessary.
Oil drain bolt torque:
29 N·m (3.0 kgf·m, 22 lbf·ft)
4. Fill the crankcase with the recommended grade oil;
approximately:
1.0 l l l l l (1.1 US qt, 0.9 Imp qt)
5. Install the oil filler cap/dipstick.
6. Start the engine and let it idle for 2 – 3 minutes.
7. Stop the engine and check that the oil level is at
the upper level mark on the oil filler cap/dipstick
with the motorcycle upright on firm, level ground.
Make sure there are no oil leaks.
