Checking your motorcycle oil
Checking motorcycle engine oil regularly is important. That's because a number of variables, from air temperature to riding style, can affect how quickly you use oil.

How often to check motorcycle oil
The rate at which your bike will use engine oil isn't a constant. Environmental factors such as poor fuel quality, extreme temperatures or just spirited riding can affect your bike's oil consumption.
Here at Castrol, our motorcyclists check their oil level at least once a week, and always before going on a long ride.
That's because, even if you stick to the drain intervals and viscosity of oil recommended by your bike manufacturer, even the strongest oil won't protect your bike if the oil level gets too low.
So, a weekly oil level check and a top up whenever necessary, really is a vitally important part of looking after your motorcycle.
