How often should you change the crankcase oil on a KDX?
To be accurate, the KDX doesn’t use oil in its crankcase…it uses oil in its gearbox which is in-unit with the engine (crankcase). You will find no advantage in using anything other than what the factory recommends: 10w-30 or 10w-40 motorcycle oil. The factory also recommends changing it every 600 miles. I would change it AT LEAST that often.
What kind of oil should I use on my KDX 220R?
Pick an oil you hold confidence in and run it. Many people use type F ATF (I do!), many use cheap 10w 30 (no friction modifiers!), many use synthetic MC specific oil (make sure it’s wet clutch safe!), many use 80 or 90w gear oil. The transmission is obviously not too picky, but different oils can provide different feel in clutch and shifting.
