New Bike Care Tips: Nowadays the prices of bikes have increased a lot. Now the on-road price of a 125cc bike has gone above Rs 1 lakh. At the same time, if you want to buy a bike of 150cc or above, then you have to spend up to Rs 2 lakh for it. Many people buy a bike but due to their minor mistakes their new bike becomes sour.
One such mistake is not changing the engine oil of the new bike on time. In this article, we are going to tell you why the company advises to change the engine oil after running 500 kilometers of the new bike…
Most bike companies recommend changing the engine at 500-600 Km.
Why does engine oil have to be changed every 500 kilometers?
If you have read the user manual of your new bike, then there are instructions written in it to change the engine oil at 500-600 kilometers. Have you ever wondered why there is such a need that the company asks to change the engine oil of a brand new bike which has ridden only 500 kilometers. Does the company want to earn money from customers by selling engine oil or is it some kind of scam?
If you are also thinking this then it is not at all like this. The objective of the company is neither to earn money from the customers nor is it any kind of scam.
Actually, it takes some time for the engine components of the new bike to be set. When the bike runs, these components rub against each other and due to their rubbing, microscopic particles of metal dissolve in the engine oil, which needs to be flushed out of the engine. If these metal particles remain in the engine for a long time, they can damage the piston and other parts. For this reason, bike companies recommend changing the engine oil of a new bike once after 500 kilometers or 30 days.
What will happen if it is not replaced?
If the engine oil in a new bike is not changed at the time specified by the company, it can cause damage in many ways. You will not immediately notice any problem in the engine, however, after running the bike for a long time, the piston wall or clutch plate may get damaged. Due to their damage, the bike will become unrideable and may eventually lead to the need to open the engine or completely replace the components. Let us tell you that this can be a very expensive deal for you.
