how long is the lubricating oil replacement cycle

[twwellger_imp]

Hello,
how long is the engine oil changing cycle in your official manual? Honda Taiwan is requiring that it must be replaced every 3,000 kilometers, because it is air-cooled. I cannot agree with it so I would like to ask you what it is in your manual.

Thank you in advance.

Not sure what is in the manual but I change mine along with the oil filter every 4000 miles.

3,000 km is about 1,800 miles......and that's just silly. I think there's a miscommunication somewhere.
The Honda manual in the USA recommends changing every 4,000 miles.

I have to assume that Taiwan gets the same oil that the USA and the rest of the world gets, right?

Actually for the '17 I have, the manual extended the interval to 8,000 miles, filters every-other time. Valve interval is 12,000 miles now iirc (instead of 8?). '17s have the same engine so if Honda thinks 8 is okay... I may still do 6~ or so, but certainly more than 1,800.

What I suspect is twwellger is getting this information from a dealer, not Honda TW- the bit about it being because it's air-cooled sounds like typical stealership justification and not something you'd find in a manual.

Unless riding conditions are really severe in Taiwan, 3000 kms is excessive. Said Forum member reported numbers are typical and documented.

thank you. almost about 6500 km need to be changed.

its the same oil all right. Thank you for you reply.

Thanks for your reply, I will go to the dealer again to ask about it.

Generally speaking, the riding environment in Taiwan is very good and there is no particularly bad weather or environment

It's all Chinese. I'll do it and post on forum when i am returning home by end of Jan, 2019.

Usually stick to 5000 km or so or what ferret etc recommend but i would actually agree on 3000 for the second and third change because of the wearing-in particles that may accumulate and float in the oil for the same reason the first change is 600 km.
also use non synthetic first, it helps the engine wear in in my opinion but others may disagree.

Also started to put some neodymium magnets on my oil filter, just for a test, it doesn't harm any, hope that helps.

The oil-change interval for 2010-2016 CB1100s was 6,000 kms. As iamheero says, it has increased to 8,000 miles for the 2017 models. That is double. So, twwellger, I think you can assume the oil change interval is now 12,000 kms and the oil filter change interval is 24,000 kms.
