Hey guys, I've done 2 services so far, already clocked 1.8k km. There's something regarding engine oil that I'm quite confused about.
First servicing, I didn't supervise (my bad) the mechanic, and in the end they charged me for 3 bottles. I didn't know whether it should be 3 or 2 bottles, so when I went back and check, manual stated 2l (so 2 bottles).
Earlier, I told the mech that the book says only 2l if change with oil filter, but then he poured 1.6l (no oil filter change) and showed me tbe oil level while tilting the bike straight. The level was just few mm shy above the minimum level. Adding until 2l, the oil level was around 2cm cm below the max level.
So.. What do you guys think? Follow by the book or instinct? Or you guys have different version of manual with different oil level recommendation?
Sorry for the long post! >_<"
