canthai55 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Weird. Bought both my PCX and CRF from Nat Motors CNX. Happy with the service. Maintenance book supplied by them lists last sked service for 10K km. Done. But they want me to bring it in every 2500 km for oil change and filter. Honda service manual says 12K km service - or yearly. Just noticed this as was looking to when I last bought a filter for oil change. Anyone else experienced the same with their local dealer ?

Page 47 http://campaigns.hondampe.com.au/Motorcycles/manuals/CRF230F.pdf says every 1000km for the CRF. But do check for your exact model http://www.hondampe.com.au/repository/owning_a_honda/owners-manuals/motorcycles.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Seems long for a small engine. But if that's what the manual says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Wow. papa would gravitate to 2.5Kkm interval before 12Kkm. Better be using some 100% synthetic oil then. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taninthai Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 1500 km is a crazy time frame that would be a service every month for me,,,,,usually once a year enough for me , probably equals to some where between 8-10,000 km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 In the OP was wondering if any other Honda shops recommend such frequent oil changes, much more often than the service manual requires. Have not heard of any others, so will put it down to this dealership alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) CRF230F is a more off-road based bike. The oil also lubricates the transmission and as such is subjected to shear force which is not the case in CVT scooters. Every 1000 seems a lot but you'd have to ride a lot off-road to get 1000kms.
