Get the Honda magnetic tip oil drain plug. Even with frequent oil changes you'd be amazed at the amount of "stuff" that plug picks up. Good video!

I have owned 4 Rebel 250s, and currently have a 2016 (last year) Rebel 250 that I bought new for under MSRP OTD. It still has only 2000 miles on it and is living room kept. I'm keeping this one. I have removed that rubber flap by the oil drain plug to keep from getting oil all over it, and just cut a piece of cardboard from a pizza box to put behind the drain plug, then throw it away. I change the oil in Rebels every 1000 miles with 20w50 motorcycle oil (specifically Castrol Actevo semi synthetic) That dent in the tank was caused by the tank being hit by the turn signal when it was dropped. Two of my Rebels had those dents. Both in the same spot but on the left side. I use spray brake cleaner to clean the drain plug and the area around where the drain plug goes. Don't over tighten the drain plug. I let the engine run at least 5 minutes before draining the oil. Oil level should be AT the full line. Not below it. Rebels tend to burn some oil when run at or near full throttle. But don't overfill it. If too much pressure builds up in the crankcase, there is a pressed in oil seal on the left side of the engine, behind the rotor, that can get blown out. Before doing the final level check after changing the oil, start the engine up and run it for a minute or so, then let it sit 10 minutes, then check the oil level.

Very good advice that mate . Particularly about not overfilling . I didn't know that but I will make sure I remember that. Over here in the UK I use 10w40 grade semi synth .

I’ve used Lucas oil before but I’ve never used any of their additives, or any other brand of additives before. I usually always use mobil 1 motorcycle oil. On my victory I sent a sample of the mobil 1 to an oil analysis company after 5000 miles and it came back still in spec, so ever since then, about 10 years ago, mobil 1 is always what I try to use in everything. It’s more expensive but I trust it and it’s hard to put a price on piece of mind. Specially in the bikes that hold very little oil, and in the case of the rebel 250 it has no oil filter, so spending an extra $5 seems worth it to me

I never have used a new one when doing an oil change, even on bikes I owned for 20k+ miles and dozens of oil changes, I’ve only had 1 instance of leaking oil from around the drain bolt on any motorcycle I’ve ever owned and that was because I forgot to put the crush washer back on, found it in the bottom of the oil pan, put it back on and never leaked a drop after that. So in short, no I never replace them lol
