Oil Change for ninja 250R

[Bweixz]

I typed in oil change on the forum search and wasnt coming up with anything :/

So yesterday i went to cantire to buy some stuff for my oil change, i got a torque wrench which is on sale so if you need one lmao now is the time. I also got oil... now i did not plan this trip out properly so i asked an employee what oil is best for a 09 ninja 250, so he told me to get semi-synthetic LUCAS 2-cycle oil

looks like that. now im a bit paranoid since its SEMI synthetic now would it be okay for my ninja? and it doesnt have the 10W-30 kind of ranking on it. was wondering if anyone uses this oil and if it's okay or if there is another recommended oil for my bike.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

First off. Do NOT use that oil. Go and return it, and if your shopping at CT buy the 4 cycle motorcycle oil.

Best bet would be to go to your local bike shop, and buy some Motul 5100 or equivalent.

Looks like it's for two-stroke engines. I use Castrol Grand Prix (four stroke), you can find it at Canadian Tire as well. It's not synthetic, I don't know if that's a deal breaker or not for you.

Edit: Beaten to it

If you have a wet clutch, just make sure you DON'T get oil that has an "energy conserving" label on it as it will ruin your clutch.

i use Amsoil 10W40 synthetic on my 2009 ninja 250r.

get in contact with John from pasco synthetics, he can give you a good deal on it.

oh gawd okay prolly gonan get flamed for my stupidity but need some input lmfao..

so i realized for that past 3 months, 50 kms i have been running on mobil1 10w-30 oil.. the CONSERVING ENERGY ONE D:

now i put this oil in when i was not able to get my bike started after purchasing it, since the eyeglass had nothing in it so i freaked out (it was late) and drove to teh nearest gas station and purchased some synthetic oil . . .

I did not realize it was the CONSERVING energy one until this morning i picked up the bottle to check . . . my heart dropped LMAO

so how destroyed is my wet clutch . . . -.- yes i am an idiot

get that stuff out of there, and get in some proper oil. I know the friction-modified oil makes the wet clutch slip.. but I'm not sure how much/if any permanent damage it does so you might be in the clear

Check the bottle, if it says JASO-MA on it you might have gotten lucky. JASO-MA branded oils are fine for use in Wet Clutch applications.

i have the greatest feelin it wont since i felt the clutch slipping a couple times takeing off on some red lights going into 2nd gear lmfao D:

But JASO-MA branded oils mean that they are not "energy conserving".
You won't find JASO-MA and "energy conserving" on the same bottle.

Basically anytime your bike doesnt have a seperate lubrication input, meaning it uses the motor oil as its lubrication then you meed to use the oul that says jasmo-ma
