Question

I have a 87 cr250 r and i left the manual at home i went to visit my parents and wanted to go for a ride so like a dummy i drained the oil and now i can`t replace it.i forget if its gear oil or motor oil.i know it sounds silly but i have alot going on in my life and can not remember everything thank you for your helf.

Answer 1

you can use any good quality 10w40 motor oil. do not use gear box oil! it is to thick and will cause nothing but problems!

Answer 2

No yellow pages?  Call a Honda dealer.

Answer 3

Surely the CR250 is a two stroke, so if you emptied the oil from the sump, that would be gear box oil. Afraid I dont know the exact grade.
