I dont know but I can help you arrive at an answer. I presume you have no owner manual. Drain the oil. Guesstimate the amount you drain out. You could put the oil into an empty soda bottle (2 liter for example). If it is 2 or less, you will have your answer. If it is more, fill another bottle. Bottling it is also an easy way to facilitate proper disposal. Refill your crankcase with an appropriate amount of fresh oil that meets Honda's specification . What is Honda's specification? Go to the Honda motorcycle web site and search your model. You will find LOTS of information there, including, in all probability, a copy of the owner's manual you should have, probably free for the download. When refilling the crankcase, do not OVERFILL. When you are getting near the top, check the dip stick.

Simple.

Put bike up on center stand. Put empty pan below engine. Look under engine to find a bolt about 14, 15 or 16 mm. You will only see one so you can't make a mistake. Remove it and oil will drain as it falls out. Remove the oil filter on the front of the engine (down low, looks like a soup can with the end pressed against engine. You should have bought a new one already). You may need an oil filter wrench ($3 - 8 depending on store. Buy it at the same time as your filter so you get the right size). Oil will drip out, set it in the oil pan to drain. Then replace drain bolt and screw on filter. The remove filler cap on right side of engine. Add oil 10-40 or 20-40 weight usually ok this time of year. Add until you see oil mid-way in the oil level glass on bottom right of engine. Oil volume should be stamped near oil filler cap. Oil weight might be stamped on there too. Replace filler cap and start bike and run for 15-30 seconds. Turn off and let oil settle for a minute. Add oil as needed to get midway in sight glass. Repeat one more time. Check for leaks. Wipe everything clean so you can clearly see leaks when you check tomorrow morning. Good luck and dispose oil properly. Pep boys likely has the oil filter, just ask at the desk with your model and year. Cheers Clean up and dispose oil.

change oil it every 1,000 kms.

Start the engine and warm to operating temp. and stop motor and place bike on a stand so it is level.
Drain oil into suitable container for disposal.
Let drain for 10 minutes.
Replace tank and frame drain plugs and refill with 1.2 litres of oil, 1.3 litres if changing filter. Capacity is 1.4 litres.
Oil filler cap is on the top left side front of the crankcase cover.
Run bike for a minute or so and let stand for 5 minutes. Take out dipstick (in front of left side of radiator shroud) and wipe clean. Place dipstick back in but do not turn in, take back out and read level. Adjust level as necessary.

I just drill a hole and I put old oil in my used motor oil

It will cost you $25 minimum to change your own oil...then you have to dispose of the refuse oil.

It will cost you $28 to $35 to go to the nearest Kwik Kar/Giffy Lube; essentially $10 to have someone change the oil for you. And you don't have to find a place to dispose of the used oil.

It's not economical to change your own oil anymore.

take back to lowes or wallmart call a enviromental recycling company
