First spark in for an oil change at the dealership hi Matt, that 'oil level monitor' isn't measuring oil level. It shows the ECU % evaluation of oil quality, based on data from mileage, driving habits, conditions. I don't even bother about it, just change the oil every 5k. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the new all aluminum 1.4L is a good engine with consistent materials between head and block..so a longer head gasket life due to less lateral expansion friction and equal heat absorb/dissipation...VVT design is an unchanged proven design..OK..TMI..'Nuff said... Hi Gear, ...3 yrs late but I'm trying lol, Do you still think that 1.4l is a good one ? I've been working on bikes for a while and thought that little 4banger looked just fine, so bought one without much research. How do you rate it now ? Link to post Share on other sites
