How Do You Switch Motorcycle Oil To Synthetic Oil?
Synthetic oils provide superior lubricating properties and longer service intervals than conventional hydrocarbon-based oils. Lab chemists can tailor pure synthetic oils for specific uses, as the oils are entirely composed of artificial components. Some “synthetic” oils are not true synthetics, and are actually super-refined hydrocarbon oil. Check the manufacturer’s information to ensure that the oil is a true synthetic. True synthetic oils resist the effects of heat and shear for much longer than conventional oils. Some manufacturers boast a 25,000 mile or 1-year service interval, which is much longer than the 3,000 mile or 3-month service interval required with conventional hydrocarbon oil. Start the engine and warm the bike up to operating temperature. Park the bike on level ground and support it on the jiffy stand (kickstand) on hard, level ground. Remove the engine oil filler cap. Place a catch pan under the engine oil drain plug. Remove the engine oil drain plug with a wrench and
