Attention Please - Mr. Trike

Mr. Trike,

Please advise, at what intervals should the differential oil be changed? Miles/Age ?



Thank you for your response.

God bless,

Bob

I am not by any means Mr. Trike. He started The Trike Shop in the 70's which has become Roadsmith. If your trike is a Roadsmith conversion, here is a manual for shaft driven Honda trikes: http://www.roadsmithtrikes.com/media/docs/sroadsmith-14102111140.pdf

Looking at your profile, though, it seems you have a CSC conversion. You might check and ask on Trike Talk CSC forum: http://www.triketalk.com/forum/forums/391-California-Sidecar

Someone may be able to answer your question, and the kit manufacturers usually have a rep that monitors the forum.

Below is a link to CSC's Owner's Manual. All though their is probably no reason to, there is nothing wrong with doing that service more frequently.

http://californiasidecar.com/pdf/Manual_-_2017.pdf

Rear end oil should be changed after the first 3 months or3,000mi., whichever comes first. Rear end oil should then bechanged every 12 months or 20,000mi. Use only NON-synthetic80W-90 GL-5 gear oil. The differential case should contain no morethan 1 qt of gear oil.

At higher odometer readings, repeat at frequency intervals established here.
