I have a 2011 model and I have always put 3.9 litres (or 3.88005 US quarts) of oil in the crankcase when I change the oil and filter. That does not overfill the bike. [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17955&pid=318810#pid318810]As previously noted, the workshop manual for the 2013-2016 says that the required amount of oil is:[ul] [li]3.8 litres or 4.0 US quarts or 3.3 Imperial quarts after draining;[/li] [li]3.9 litres or 4.1 US quarts or 3.4 imperial quarts after draining and replacing the oil filter;[/li] [li]4.9 litres or 5.2 US quarts or 4.3 Imp quarts after disassembly of the engine)
[/li][/ul] Something's going on. But what?
The Honda dealership overfilled it too. And sold me a new fill cap and gasket when I noticed oil dripping from the fill cap... lol
The dripping stopped when the overfill condition was corrected.
I'm being transparent about my experiences so that others might avoid the same mistakes. .
I doubt I am the first person to overfill... Apparently I am the first one to admit it here.
And T5 10w30 is still an excellent oil in my CB1100, even though it doesn't say Honda or MA anywhere on the jug.
