Recommended Transmission Oil
Use Pro Honda HP Trans Oil, Pro Honda GN4 or HP4 (without
molybdenum additives) 4–stroke oil, or an equivalent.

4–stroke oil performance
*
Suggested oils are equal in performance to SJ oils that are not
labeled as energy conserving on the circular API service label.
• Your CR does not need oil additives. Use recommended oil.
• Do not use oils with graphite or molybdenum additives.
They may adversely affect clutch operation.
• Do not use API SH or higher oils displaying a circular API
“energy conserving” label on the container. They may
affect lubrication and clutch performance.
NOT RECOMMENDED OK
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
TRANSMISSION OIL
Inspecting and Adding Transmission Oil
1. Run the engine for three minutes, then shut it off.
2. Wait three minutes after shutting off the engine to
allow the oil to properly distribute itself in the clutch
and transmission.
3. Support the CR in an upright position on a level
surface.
4. Remove the oil filler cap and oil check bolt from the
right crankcase cover. A small amount of oil should
flow out of the oil check bolt hole. Allow any excess
oil to flow out of the oil check bolt hole.
5. If no oil flows out of the oil check bolt hole, add oil
slowly through the oil filler hole until oil starts to
flow out of the oil check bolt hole. Install the oil
check bolt and oil filler cap.
6. Repeat steps 1-5.
7. After inspecting the oil level or adding oil, tighten
the oil check bolt and oil filler cap securely.

2. Support the CR in an upright position on a level
surface.
3. Remove the oil filler cap from the right crankcase
cover.
4. Place an oil drain pan under the engine to catch the
oil. Then remove the oil drain bolt and sealing
washer.
CAUTION:
•
Oil is a major factor affecting the performance and
service life of the transmission and clutch. Non-
detergent, vegetable, or castor based racing oils are
not recommended.
Other viscosities shown in the chart below may be used
when the average temperature in your riding area is
within the indicated range.
JASO T 903 standard
The JASO T 903 standard is an index to choose engine
oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines.
There are two classes: MA and MB.
Oil conforming to the standard has the following clas-
sification on the oil container.
(1) code number of the sales company of the oil
(2) oil classification
API classification
