First oil change: TXC250--OCD engineering!

Nothing new to you folks I know, but first oil change on my TXC250 today. Wow, impressed with the engineering that went into keeping the engine oil clean. Mind you I am coming from air-cooled four strokes and 2 strokes. Magnet on oil drain bolt, oil filter, 2 screens (one of which is a screen within a screen). Anyway, hope it equates to a good engine lifespan.

What does OCD stand for? BTW may oil is clean also.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Dang I think I have that and didn't even know the letters for it LOL. Thanks Poopy.

Ha Ha--I think I can get pretty compulsive about bike maintenance sometimes.

Where is the magnet?

I only see one drain plug and it is hard to get and ha sno magnet.

Am I missing something?

I am only familiar with the TXC250 ('09). It has a main oil drain bolt located at the bottom of the case with a magnet on the tip. On the lower left hand side of the case there is a cover (held on by two bolts) that allows you to service a coarse and fine screen (one within the other). In front of that is another bolt that allows you to remove and clean another fine screen.

What bike do you have?

'10 TE250.

Seems to have one drain bolt with a screen behind it and a paper filter.

The drain plug is tough to get to.

It needs a magnet.
