quick question: how much engine oil and tranny oil does a 03 crf450r take?

thanks

 

for tranny, take out the fill bolt, and slowly fill till it comes out, it takes ALMOST a full bottle of the Honda HP red tranny stuff.

for the engine, it takes a bit less than a quart, my x has a dipstick, I just keep checking it while filling.

 

thanks dude, ive filled the tranny right up to just about the top and a litre in the engine oil

 

I hope you mean the top of the tranny fill bolt on the side of the case (which is slightly lower than the middle part of the case, and not the top of the tranny plug. cause if you filled to the top of the tranny plug, its overfilled

 

I think the 450 is dieing now

 

uh oh

 

On the older CRF's the trans check bolt was placed too low. If u go by the check hole the coutershaft bearings and waterpump will go out.
U have to measure it then pour it in.

I dont remember what year they fixed it.

The Honda service reps told us that in a class when the CRF's came out.

 

ahh the 450 is saved, im the man

in other problems, how the hell do i stop it leakin fuel everytime its doing a wheelie or a stoppie!!?!?!?!?!?

 

what is the best trans fluid to put in these things?

 

I just put in 20w 50, same as i put in the engine

 

i always used the hp4m oil and in the trans the honda fluids, never had any problems and had about 100 hours on my motor b4 rebuilding it. just keep checking the valves and changing oil and they are bullet proof

 

Just curious

you've had that 450 for a long time right? And this is the first time changing your oil?


How often do you change it??



I change my dirt bikes oil every 4-6 rides.. And my f4i gets it every 500-1500 miles depending on how I rode it

 

100 hours before a rebuild?!

Whats that, like 20 days of riding it?!


What do you do, rebuild it 2-4 times a year? Or just never ride it?

 

so i'm confused as all hell now.......on a 2003 crf 450, the right side (as your sitting on it) is considered the trans oil and the left side is the motor oil, correct? and i can put regular 20w40 motor oil in for the tranny fluid????

 

Engine Oil: .73 Us Qt. Pro Honda Gn4 Or Hp4 10-4ow
Trans: .62 Us Qt Of The Same 10-40w Or The Honda Trans Oil 80/85w
