Kawasaki KLX150s Engine Oil Change

It is always better to use what is the recommended engine oil for Kawasaki KLX150s which is a liter of 10W-40 fully synthetic. And it is better for you to change the oil regularly if you know that you are going off roads most of the weeks in a month. A friend of mine which is a mechanic told me that if we are going for a long distance ride on road, we should be using thicker engine oil for example 20W-40 synthetic so that when the engine got hotter than the way it shouldn’t be, thicker oil won’t get dried very quick which can damage your engine especially the piston and the engine block. I saw it happened in front of my very eyes how dry engine oil cause terrible damage to KLX150s engine during me and my friends 5000 kilometres go and return expedition from Kuching, Sarawak to Kudat in Sabah.

Kawasaki genuine oil filter for KLX150s

One more thing, make sure that you are using the original oil filter made especially for Kawasaki KLX150s and not other filter that looks the same from the outside but totally different from the inside which is meant for other motorcycles. If you fail to use the right filter, the engine oil might not fully reach through and lubricate some of the crucial components in the engine itself for example the piston related parts which can cause bad damages to the piston for example scratches that will reduce the performance of your machine and at the end will cause you a lot of money for repairing.
