All SAM’s motorcycles and ATVs utilise highly fuel efficient eco-friendly 4-stroke motors and require Unleaded Fuel whether at the coast or inland. The D460 and D860 use diesel. Engine oil will be changed at the designated service intervals by the dealer, but if your bike is out of warranty you might want to do an oil change yourself. The recommended engine oil for all SAM motorcycles and ATVs is BBR 10W40 Mineral Oil (Not synthetic). Oil capacity varies from bike to bike and is stipulated in your user manual or on the side of the engine near the filler cap. Run the bike for a while before draining the oil from the drain plug. Make sure to replace the drain plug securely before refilling the oil. Check your User Manual to see where the drain plug is located. For Gearbox Oil, SAM’s scooter range use 80W-90 Semi Synthetic, while other SAM models use 10W-40 Semi Synthetic Oil. SAM strongly recommends the use of good quality lubricants to assist motors to operate efficiently at higher temperatures.
IMPORTANT: If low grade or incorrect API oil is used, you will experience loss of oil due to evaporation.
