6 Signs Your Motorcycle Needs An Oil Change

​Taking care of the engine of your motorcycle takes a lot of time and may consume additional costs. This maintenance should include changing the oil for the motorcycle. Not making time to do this, an important care task, can bring in more damage to your vehicle’s engine, like dirt and dust. It may lead to more expenses in the future and more hassle in getting back on the road.

There will be unusual things that can tell you that your motor needs maintenance. Here are some examples:

1. Minimum Mark on Warning Light
   Leakage or burning of oil can be a reason and other problems. Oil pressure sensors can detect this and create an alert that the oil level has dropped.
   
   
2. Increase in Engine Temperature
   Hot air from the engine while riding can be caused by an uneven heat distribution that needs to be fixed.
   
   
3. Appearance of Oil
   You can use a dipstick to check if the oil turns dark and thick, which may be caused by dirt and other deposits. It may also lead to easy wearing of the engine. It may result from exposure to engine combustion, which needs replacement immediately.
   
   
4. Noise from the Engine
   A harsh or unusual sound can tell you that it needs a change in oil and proper lubrication. You can easily compare the sounds from a normal engine and a harsh sound when riding or changing gears.
   
   
5. Unusual Increase in Fuel Consumption
   Before going to a gas station for a refuel, check your engine first for leakage or burning oil that may cause the oil to decrease rapidly.
   
   
6. Regular Oil Change
   The motor that is not usually ridden or used only for short trips can require a more regular oil change. The moisture that may degrade oils and cause engine corrosion can burn off and needs regular cleaning.
