Oil Capacity

As shown on our oil change and setup maintenance tutorials, the RX3 has a 55.4 ounce oil capacity (that’s 1.7 quarts).   That’s if you remove the filter and the oil strainers, and drain all of the oil from the bike.   If you add 1.7 quarts of oil to the bike without first opening the oil filter and oil strainers to allow all of the oil to drain from the motorcycle, you’ll overfill the crankcase.

Our advice when setting up a new motorcycle is to drain all of the oil that ships with the bike.  Open the drain plug, the oil strainer caps, and the oil filter port to allow the oil in all areas of the engine to drain.   Hold the bike upright (off the centerstand) to get all of the oil out.  After you have done this, reinstall the filter, clean the strainers, reinstall the strainer caps, reinstall the oil filter cover, and reinstall the drain plug.   Now you can add 1.7 quarts of oil to your crankcase.
