Honda Rebel 300 Oil Change

Ah, spring is here! The sun in shining, birds are singing, and your motorcycle is waiting… for an oil change, that is!

Today we’re doing just that with my 2019 Honda Rebel 300. No matter the milage, always change your oil at start of riding season before you fire it up, do this machine a solid and drain the swamp before you hit the streets. The reason you should always change the oil before you fire up the engine in the spring, rust particles can flake off into the oil and scour bearings and other parts during operation, leading to wear.

Before we begin get your supplies together, this includes a new gasket, oil filter, and 2 litres of Honda’s full synthetic HP4S 10W-30 Engine oil.

You’ll also want a socket ratchet, 12 MM socket for the drain bolt, 8 MM socket for the 4 bolts on the filter, and a socket extension to make life easier. We also have rags on hand, makeshift oil pan, and a newspaper to line the surrounding area beneath the bike. Although reusing the drain plug seal washer is not unheard of, it’s good practice to replace it at every oil change. If not, just be sure to carefully monitor after sealing to ensure there aren’t any leaks.

1. Start by getting your supplies ready.
2. Setup the oil pan below the bike ready to catch the oil.
3. Drain the oil into the catch pan.
4. Loosen the oil filter bolts and remove the oil filter (Have catch pan under)
5. Clean up the area and let the remaining oil drip out.
6. Re-install the drain plug at 18 Ft-Lbs
7. Clean oil filter contact area
8. Lube oil filter seal with fresh oil.
9. Re-install the oil filter and reinstall cover ( 9 Ft-Lbs )
10. Fill the bike with 1.5L of oil.
11. Run the bike for 30 seconds and check the oil level. ( Make sure the bike is in the upright position.)
12. If required, add more oil 50 ml at a time until the oil is at the desired level.
13. Clean up all of the area.
14. Go for a ride and check for leaks.


While sitting upright on the Honda Rebel, the level should fall somewhere between the two lines at the side of the sight glass, not too low, and not too high.
