How much oil does an 86 R take? Ive been told 1, 1/12, and 2 which is right?

 

The trans takes 700cc

 

which is how much in quarts?

 

0.74 quarts

 

0.74 quarts is exactly right. Good job dude!

 

are you sure? seems like alittle... what if i just put one whole one? is that too much?

 

You might be alright with a whole quart. But I personally wouldn't do it. To much oil can be hard on your motor. There is a oil check bolt on the right crank cover. Remove the oil check bolt. Add oil slowly through the oil filler hole until it starts to flow out of the oil check bolt hole. When you see oil pouring out of the oil check bolt hole, stop pouring & put the oil check bolt back in. Your good to go from there. Your level should be perfect from there.

 

250r4life is correct.

 

If you want to do it the right way,drain the old oil and add 700cc that is 2/3 of a quart...I do not recommend you do the check oil screw thing! The check oil bolt is there so you can check the engine to see if there is oil ! Not to fill! Example, say you have a quad at the cabin or something and you want to make sure there is oil in the engine,pull the bolt and see if it runs out. If you use the oil bolt to fill you will not have enough oil in your engine! Measure your oil! 700cc is the same a 700ml one quart = 946ml

 

Beechman, I have the original owners manual and the chrymers manual. Booth agree with 250R4Life's menthods.
