How to Change the Oil - Small Engine - Go Kart - Mini Bike

After buying my son a small go kart, the previous owner suggested i change the oil. After seeing the color of the oil that drained out, i'm glad i did. Not sure if it was ever changed, or that's just how bad the oil looks from these small 50cc or 80cc engines. The process isn't that hard, most of the time is spent getting the tools and cleaning up. 

Basically you just want to tip the engine back, to allow for complete drainage. Remove the oil plug to drain the oil. Replace the plug then put in 12oz of oil back in. Make sure to check your owners manual for how much oil your engine needs. But with these types of engines, as long as it's level, you cannot put in too much oil, it spills out when it's full. 

This was a Monster Moto 80cc engine for a go kart. But this same method works for any small 4 cycle 2 stroke engine. 50cc, 80cc, 110cc, etc.
