Just dropped the oil out of my SeaBee.
Filter came off with a mild jerk using the Honda oil filter socket and a ratchet spanner. Sump plug came out easy too, despite burning myself.
But W - the - funk was that oil in there??
It ran out more like coffee than motor oil!
Seriously thin and watery. Now I'm told by the dealer they did the first service at 100 miles before I collected the bike as it was nigh on a year old. I assume they used the correct Honda 10w-30 oil. But holy hell it was thin as pee!
Good news is. Not dirty at all, no visible dwarf in the waterfall like stream of it. Bad news is, the sump plug was too hot too unscrew by hand and so fell in the oil pan. I'll leave it to drain overnight and fish it out tomorrow after work.
Was anyone else's oil this thin?
I had been for a 60 mile blast so engine was piping hot.
