+MotoConner Theoretically if you use synthetic oil the oil will not break down as fast than non synthetic, therefore giving you more time to not have to change the oil. But I still change my bikes oil every 8-10 hours of riding, and that is about 1-2 full days of riding.
You should be able to pull the choke out all the way and it should pop into a wide open position, if not you may need to go through and clean your carburetor
It does not matter What grease you use. You don't have to use grease at all, The grease is put onto the spring to keep it from falling off the oil filter when you are installing it onto your bike. I have had times when I change the oil filter and there is no grease left.
Just a warning to all of you: DONT USE A 10+ pound torque wrench on the 7lb bolts. Unless you want to spend a whole day getting a snapped bolt out of the crankcase cover ;)
It all depends on how hard, hot, and how long you are riding, if you are doing day long races i would only ride 2 day long races and then I would change my oil so thats about 10-15 hours of riding.
+Jake Robbins, When I buy oil I look at the oil requirements found in the service manual, then I go to Walmart and Match the oil requirements found in the service manual to the oil available at the store. The motorcycle oil was there but the atv oil was less so I bought that, Lots of people pay a premium when buying oil thinking one is better than the other, but as long as it meets the oil requirements there is not much of a difference. But if you are comparing conventional vs full synthetic oil, there is gonna be a big difference. Comment back if you have any more questions.
The recommended engine oil is "Pro Honda GN4 4-stroke oil" but other oils are ok as long as they meet the oil requirements, here are the requirements. 1.) The oil must be API service classification SG or higher JASO T 903 Standard: MA 2.) then they recommend the viscosity to be 10w-30 But where I live it is very hot and I run 10w-40 If you have a 150r service manual it is on page 1-6 under General Information. For that Valvoline motorcycle oil i would just check and make sure that it meets all the requirements, you dont want to damage your engine by using the wrong oil. comment if you still have questions.
There are many different torque wrenches out there. I would recommend having 2 torque wrenches a 1/2 inch for big bolts like an axle, and then a 3/8 inch for other things you need. if you're going to be a lot of engine work i have a very small torque wrench that is very accurate and its a 1/8 inch torque wrench and it makes things easier
If u run the same oil in a 250r it should work, just make sure that you dont put transmission oil in where the engine oil is suppose to go. To be 100% i would check the manual
+The DazeMarksman i use lucas oil 10w 40 in my crf250r and lucas oil 80/85 for transmission but im not sure if the crf150 has seperate oils if it doesnt u just want the 10w 40
+Dean W The Crf150r has two separate oil chambers one for the clutch and trans and one for the engine. 10w 40 will work in both chambers in the bike but you can use different oil on trans if you want.
For nuts and bolts on a dirt bike some have a specified tightness they have to be to be effective. That tightness is measured in torque. A torque wrench tells you how much torque you have tightened a nut. I would say if your not using a torque wrench you have a higher chance of having a loose bolt or striped threads. So i would invest in buying a good quality torque wrench.
+Landon Richardson You can put 10w 30 and 10w 40 in the engine oil and transmission. But with the 10w 40 in the trans will make the clutch sticky when you are riding the bike while it is cold. To avoid this you will need to warm the bike up longer because the 10w 40 is thicker and it will take more time to lubricate the clutch when it is cold. But when the bike is warmed up it does not matter.
I know But it is Just a Precaution I take. Plus if you think that something is wrong with the engine you can cut open the oil filter and see if there are any clues to what is wrong.
Just dirt bikes thanks! I ordered one from my local Moto store and should be coming tomorrow night on there order. I really don’t want it to happen again though. Any advice you’d give so it doesn’t happen again because I’ve never changed oil and I noticed the o ring was kind of poking out of the oil filter cover after I tightened it then it snapped
In the manual it says to use oil to lube up the o ring but try using a little bit of grease over the o ring if the oil is not working, also if the bike is old and has lots of oil filter changes the o ring could be worn down and then it broke.
Just dirt bikes it’s not very old and the oil has probably only been changed a few times but I will try grease with the oil tomorrow when I fix it. I just really hope it doesn’t break again. Also I’m just not sure how the o ring started to poke out of the cover. I didn’t take it off at all, just put oil like you said so. Maybe I tightened too much?
It does not matter what the name is, if you go to the crf150r owners manual it has the requirements of the oil and the oil i use meets all of the requirements.
the bike only need 0.6 liters of oil ? isnt that to little, and i have a question, does anyone know how much recomended engine oil i would need in a honda xr100 1999 model? 0.9 liter ? or less?
i dont know the answer to your question, But I am pretty sure if your xr has one oil chamber it has an oil dip stick and you fill your bike until it is in the middle of the dip stick rating. If this does not make sense to you dont try it and use the honda oem service manual to help you out.
+Delta Gaming How often you change your oil depends on... ---> How you ride. Hard, Medium, or easy. How often you ride, Long time, or short time. and where you ride. Dusty, muddy, or clean. I trail Ride and I am in rather good conditions clean or a bit dusty. I ride about 25 miles in one day. but I am riding easy. I change my oil every 2-3 rides. That is about 50-75 miles per oil change. If you are Racing or and riding hard I would change it every day you are going to do that.
With my bike I use cheep oil non synthetic and change my oil every 50 miles, Both trans and engine. If you use more expensive oil you can change it less but the dirt stays in your engine longer. I would say use cheep compatible oil and change it more. But the decision is yours I do this and my oil looks like the color of card board, when i change it looks like cardboard but a little darker.
The oil i use in this video is what i use for both engine and trans it is compatible. This oil is not synthetic and breaks down quicker than synthetic oil. but it costs less, so I just buy the cheep non synthetic oil and change it very regularly. This is all on Crf150r
Good video bud. Would like to see more maintenance videos on CRF 150R to help teach my son how to work on his bike. Thanks.
Thank, I dont ride the 150r anymore, but I have some more videos about the 150r on my channel.
New type of video recording silent thats very unique 👌 keep up thw awesome helpful videos
Thanks Brother !
God bless you .
Great vidio man the helped alot i apecatite it
Thanks man, thats why i made it
could u make a video on how to break in new motocross boots?
I still have my first pair of moto boots, but if I got a new pair I would walk around in them with my moto pants for a break in
You just use them
I would cut the grass in them lol
Great video, helped me a lot.
So whats an estimate of how many hours of riding u need in till u need to change ur oil?
+MotoConner Theoretically if you use synthetic oil the oil will not break down as fast than non synthetic, therefore giving you more time to not have to change the oil. But I still change my bikes oil every 8-10 hours of riding, and that is about 1-2 full days of riding.
The owners manual says every 15hrs but I change mine every 6 to 9hrs just to keep engine super clean so it will last longer.
5 hours
1 hr tops
Don’t listen to these people I do mine every 25 hours and my bike has been just fine
love the channel thanks for all the 150 vids💪🏻👊🏻
Anyone come here knowing how to do this
Do you have to use a torque wrench on the dip stick?
no you dont have to
Just dirt bikes Haha I was just kidding but thanks
haha :)
Wait how did u make your choke do that i have to pull mine out and hold it
You should be able to pull the choke out all the way and it should pop into a wide open position, if not you may need to go through and clean your carburetor
I thought they're were two oil fill ports, do you not have to fill them both?
There are two separate oil chambers, the engine oil and the transmission oil. You should fill each one with the recommended amount of oil
Great video..👍
Push in on the drain bolt to avoid it pissing all over your hand before you take it out
do you need to have that waterproof grease on into the oil filter?
It does not matter What grease you use. You don't have to use grease at all, The grease is put onto the spring to keep it from falling off the oil filter when you are installing it onto your bike.
I have had times when I change the oil filter and there is no grease left.
Just dirt bikes ok Thanks alot!
No Problem :) glad i could help
Do you need to drain it or can u just top it up?
if you change the oil and ride and it is still a bit low, I would top it off. I would not just top it off and call it an oil change.
Just a warning to all of you: DONT USE A 10+ pound torque wrench on the 7lb bolts. Unless you want to spend a whole day getting a snapped bolt out of the crankcase cover ;)
This happened on my 250x, it just snapped, i was surprised on how easy it broke.
The short bolt or the long one?
If you use this type of oil, how many hours can you have on it till you change it?
It all depends on how hard, hot, and how long you are riding, if you are doing day long races i would only ride 2 day long races and then I would change my oil so thats about 10-15 hours of riding.
How often do you have to change it
I change it around every 2-3 rides which is anywhere from 8-15 hours, but racing I would change it more often
Why not use vavoline motorcycle oil instead of vavoline atv oil?
+Jake Robbins,
When I buy oil I look at the oil requirements found in the service manual, then I go to Walmart and Match the oil requirements found in the service manual to the oil available at the store. The motorcycle oil was there but the atv oil was less so I bought that, Lots of people pay a premium when buying oil thinking one is better than the other, but as long as it meets the oil requirements there is not much of a difference. But if you are comparing conventional vs full synthetic oil, there is gonna be a big difference.
Comment back if you have any more questions.
Just dirt bikes so the vavoline motorcycle 10w 40 whould be ok?
The recommended engine oil is "Pro Honda GN4 4-stroke oil" but other oils are ok as long as they meet the oil requirements, here are the requirements.
1.) The oil must be API service classification SG or higher JASO T 903 Standard: MA
2.) then they recommend the viscosity to be 10w-30 But where I live it is very hot and I run 10w-40
If you have a 150r service manual it is on page 1-6 under General Information.
For that Valvoline motorcycle oil i would just check and make sure that it meets all the requirements, you dont want to damage your engine by using the wrong oil.
comment if you still have questions.
Just dirt bikes what about using shell rotella t4 15w 40
I am not familiar with that oil, But if you match the oil requirements and they are the same it should perform well.
good
Do you actually have to use the torque wrench?
Using a torque wrench is a safe and reliable way of tightening nuts and bolts
What size torque wrench do you need?
There are many different torque wrenches out there. I would recommend having 2 torque wrenches a 1/2 inch for big bolts like an axle, and then a 3/8 inch for other things you need. if you're going to be a lot of engine work i have a very small torque wrench that is very accurate and its a 1/8 inch torque wrench and it makes things easier
Can u use the same oil in a honda crf 250r
If u run the same oil in a 250r it should work, just make sure that you dont put transmission oil in where the engine oil is suppose to go. To be 100% i would check the manual
How much oil do you
Put in it ?
I would add a total of 600ml then check and add oil if needed.
Just dirt bikes Thanks
What kind of
oil should I use ?
+The DazeMarksman If you have a 150r you could use 10w-40 oil. You can also look in the owners manual, and the service manual for other options on oil
+Just dirt bikes thanks
+The DazeMarksman i use lucas oil 10w 40 in my crf250r and lucas oil 80/85 for transmission but im not sure if the crf150 has seperate oils if it doesnt u just want the 10w 40
+Dean W The Crf150r has two separate oil chambers one for the clutch and trans and one for the engine. 10w 40 will work in both chambers in the bike but you can use different oil on trans if you want.
just hand tighten the drain bolt they don't need much, and wow 3/8 torque wrench for 8 mill bolts is crazy
transmission and engine oil is the same?
Hector d leon
I made this video it should help ua-cam.com/video/wTmUUDc255w/v-deo.html
Nice dip stick... short throw I’m guessing?
+VisualLife ?
I get the joke
Do you have to use a tork

A torque wrench tells you how much torque you have tightened a nut. I would say if your not using a torque wrench you have a higher chance of having a loose bolt or striped threads. So i would invest in buying a good quality torque wrench.
What do you do if the o ring has cracks?
For what ever O ring on your bike if it has cracks then replace it.
Just dirt bikes Ok thanks
np
what type of oil do u recommend
+JackSpeed I would recommend any oil that is JASO MA non energy conserving 10w-30 or 40.
Just search Honda pro oil trans and engine are there
thanks i just got some JASO MA non energy conserving 10w-40!
Glad I could help :)
Can you put 10w 30 in a 150r?
+Landon Richardson You can put 10w 30 and 10w 40 in the engine oil and transmission. But with the 10w 40 in the trans will make the clutch sticky when you are riding the bike while it is cold. To avoid this you will need to warm the bike up longer because the 10w 40 is thicker and it will take more time to lubricate the clutch when it is cold. But when the bike is warmed up it does not matter.
The yellow stuff is oil. Oil doesnt turn black untill lots of miles have been put on it
+m1ke2001 The yellow stuff on the spring, in the oil filter is grease and it turns yellow from the engine oil.
Just dirt bikes I have an 08 crf150r it started to back fire do you know what that could be from
So is the grease necessary
+Greg Freeberg The only purpose that the grease has it to hold the oil filter spring in while installing it.
ok and i have pro honda 80w85 tranny oil should i use it? and is full synthetic vavoline 4 stroke motorcycle oil good for the motor
How often do i need to change oil?
I change it around every 2-3 rides which is anywhere from 8-15 hours, but racing I would change it more often
@@Justdirtbikes ok
OK thx
what year is the bike
2008 Crf150r
you don't have to clean the filter every time do you my friends told me you don't
I know But it is Just a Precaution I take. Plus if you think that something is wrong with the engine you can cut open the oil filter and see if there are any clues to what is wrong.
since when did people use torque wrenches on dirtbikes?
You have to use the on 150r/150rb
Use a torque wrench on anything you want really . Even a bicycle.
@@alexcharlton9000 i always just ran it in hand tight, have done on every bike and car i own
@William Moore i think that's more based in superstition than fact
My bike doesn't have a spring for the filter 😭
Do you do the Same for the transmission oil on the right fill up 600ml of oil
+Will Casasanto I am going to change the Trans Oil and going to make a video as well. It is very simple.
PLEASE HELP! I CRACKED MY O RING AND THE OIL FILTER IS LEAKING! IM GOING RIDING SATURDAY AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!
I would keep the o ring and go to a auto parts store and try to buy an similar o ring
Just dirt bikes thanks! I ordered one from my local Moto store and should be coming tomorrow night on there order. I really don’t want it to happen again though.

Oh ok I got confused
18k my dood!
45k dood total
Can u make it soon
I am editing it right now. XD I just need to fix auto correct errors and upload it.
the bike only need 0.6 liters of oil ? isnt that to little, and i have a question, does anyone know how much recomended engine oil i would need in a honda xr100 1999 model? 0.9 liter ? or less?

just for anyone with a newer 150 u put 10w30 oil in it
Oil will run out about 2040

Fuck I want that bike but I can’t get it, my dream bike😭 pls someone just gimme 4 free 😩
