To change the oil filter in a Bajaj Pulsar 150, follow these steps:
Gather the necessary tools and materials: You will need a new oil filter, a wrench or socket set, a drain pan, clean rags or towels, and fresh engine oil.
Locate the oil filter: The oil filter is typically located on the bottom side of the engine, near the oil drain plug. It is a cylindrical or canister-shaped component.
Prepare the motorcycle: Before you begin, ensure that the engine is cool and the motorcycle is on a level surface. This will help prevent any accidents or spills during the process.
Drain the old oil: Place the drain pan beneath the oil drain plug, which is usually located at the bottom of the engine. Unscrew the drain plug using a wrench or socket set, allowing the old oil to drain completely into the pan. Once the oil has drained, securely reattach the drain plug.
Remove the old oil filter: Use a wrench or socket set to loosen and remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some residual oil to drain out when removing the filter. Place a rag or towel beneath the filter to catch any oil drips.
Install the new oil filter: Apply a thin layer of fresh engine oil to the rubber gasket of the new oil filter. This will help create a proper seal. Hand-tighten the new oil filter onto the engine until it is snug. Be careful not to overtighten.
Refill with fresh oil: Refer to your motorcycle's user manual for the recommended oil type and quantity. Using a funnel, pour the fresh engine oil into the oil filler cap, which is usually located on the side of the engine. Slowly add the oil in small increments, periodically checking the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is at the correct level.
Check for leaks: Once the new oil filter is installed and the engine is refilled with fresh oil, inspect the area around the filter and drain plug for any leaks. If you notice any leaks, address them immediately.
Dispose of the old oil and filter: Properly dispose of the old oil and oil filter at a designated recycling center or an auto parts store that accepts used oil.
It's worth noting that the process may vary slightly depending on the specific model and year of your Pulsar 150. Therefore, consulting your motorcycle's user manual for detailed instructions and specifications is recommended.
