1979 Honda XL 500 Oil Capacity
The Honda XL 500s was in production for 1979 through 1981. A good motorcycle, it boasts 65 mpg fuel economy with top speeds around 146 kilometers per hour. Changing the oil in the vehicle is simple and has two options for capacities.
Without Filter
The oil capacity for the XL500s without a filter change is 1.3 liters of a recommended SAE 10W-40 oil.
With Filter Change
With a filter change, the capacity increases to 1.5 liters of the same oil weight.
Recommendations
Change the oil frequently, as the motorcycles intended use is off-road. Off-road vehicles gather more dust and debris into the engine compartment, which poses a hazard to the operation of the engine. While draining out the oil and not replacing the filter is a quick and easy option, you should change the filter each time to prolong the life of your engine.
