KatadataOTO – Motorcycles that are frequently used by their owners must be regularly maintained. For example, by changing the engine oil periodically.

Although it may seem trivial, the lubricant in the mechanical heart plays a vital or important role. Especially in maintaining the health of the vehicle's engine.

For example, it functions as a lubricant for engine components that frequently experience friction. Without oil, it can cause premature wear.

In addition, the lubricant also helps absorb and dissipate heat to keep the engine temperature stable. Motorcycle oil that is old or dirty will lose its ability to cool the engine, which can cause overheating.

Then, an engine lubricated with quality oil will work more efficiently and acceleration will feel lighter. Also, the motorcycle's sound will be smoother or not rough.

Furthermore, fuel consumption can be more efficient. Considering that oil that is rarely changed actually makes the engine work extra hard.

Citing various sources, it is recommended to change the motorcycle oil periodically every 2,000 km to 3,000 km.

Meanwhile, if the vehicle is rarely used, it is recommended every six months. Depending on the type of lubricant used in the motorcycle.

On the other hand, if you use the Federal Oil product line, you can receive many benefits when changing your motorcycle oil from August to November 2025.

Because this month, Federal Oil is celebrating its 37th anniversary. Therefore, they are presenting a number of programs to pamper consumers.
