I have a 2011 Honda PCX, and it's getting closer to gear oil change. Would anyone who has done this task show me step by step on how's it's done. Thanks Kern

Undo the bottom bolt,drain the oil in to a small tub.When drained put the bolt back in and tighten it. Then undo top bolt and use a Syringe bought from local auto shop to inject replacing fresh oil,cant remember exactly how much now but it will say in the manual 160ml?
Two bolts are the only ones that have a copper washers so thats how you can quickly spot them. Also if you overfill,just let it drain out by itself from the fill hole,when it stops its at the correct level,literally flush with the bottom of the bolt hole but if you use syringe with the correct amount of oil in there than you want have that issue..

Ps use engine oil as specified 10-30 and drain and fill bolts are located just above the rear brake adjuster..

Good luck

Just adding this from my 2013 service manual for visual aid

so oil is supposed to flow out from the check bolt when its at correct level? How can you fill it past this level and get the bolt back on before it spills out. Or does the manual mean to say to fill it up to lower edge of hole.

It only takes a small amount of oil, 0.13 US qt, 0.12 liter, 0.11 Imp qt for the change. You should have it right up to the bottom edge of the fill hole, just enough for a small trickel to come back out when complete. Bolt torque is 17 lbf-ft

Since this isn't a how-to per the guidelines here: http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=762, I'm moving it to the General subforum to prevent clutter.

when i changing the gear oil i measure the washer size to be able to buy next time
drain washer 16mm diameter and 8.5 inner diameter copper 1mm
filler washer 16mm diameter and 8.5 mm same size copper 1mm

Hi there
For a gear box we should use the same oil as for engine?
Have watched a guy on youtube using 85W/90 oil.
Which should we use?
Regards

Pro Honda HP4M 10W-30 motor oil with moly.... NOT the heavy gear oil.
