Hello,
On this Indian bike ( like most of Japan made bikes) with using a standard oil, should replace every 2000 KM to maintain your bike performance.

Oil Life Monitor Resetting (KD, KE)
Description
The engine oil life monitor will indicate when to change the engine oil and the engine oil filter - usually between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 12 500 km (7,500 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the CHANGE OIL message may be displayed before 5 000 km (3,000 miles). The vehicle must not be driven more than 12 500 km (7,500 miles) or 12 months without an oil change.
The engine oil life monitor will not detect dust in the oil. If the vehicle is driven in a dusty area, be sure to change the oil every 5 000 km (3,000 miles) or sooner if the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message is displayed.
Reset the oil life monitor when the oil has been changed.
Resetting Procedure
Press the INFORMATION SKIP button on the DIC control panel in order to display the OIL LIFE LEFT message.
Press and hold the RESET NO button until the display shows 100% ENGINE OIL LIFE.
- Engine oil change:
Engine oil- fully synthetic. 5W20, SN. Replace oil after every subsequent 5000-8000 Km.
- Replace oil filter after every subsequent 10,000 Km. (Genuine).
- CVT, Transmission oil change. CVT-TC 08886-02105.
Replace CVT oil after every subsequent 100,000 Km.
- Replace Toyota coolant after every 30,000 Km.
Oil change intervals for motorcycles depend a great deal on your riding conditions and riding style. For lower-revving street bikes, I often change my oil about every 2000 miles (~3200 km). However, someone with a sport bike who regularly revs their engine closer to the redline, I would suggest a more frequent change interval. Off-road / dirt bikes should have their oil changed sooner because of the dusty conditions. The oil is still full of lubricants, but it is contaminated with dust and dirt that clogs the filter and eventually goes right into the engine, increasing wear. I can't offer much guidance for dirt bike oil change intervals.
GM OIL LIFE SYSTEM - RESETTING The engine oil life monitor will indicate when to change the engine oil - usually between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 16 000 km (10,000 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the "CHANGE OIL SOON" light may be displayed before 5 000 km (3,000 miles). The vehicle must not be driven more than 16 000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months without an oil change.
Reset the oil life monitor when the oil has been changed, use the following procedure:
Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
Fully push and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds.
If the Change Oil Soon light flashes, the system is resetting.
Start the vehicle.
The oil life will change to 100%.
If the Change Oil Soon light comes back on, the system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
Optimum km range for changing oil in any bike should be 1000km or 6 months which ever comes first. The oil in a motor is designed not only for lubrication but also to keep the engine clean, if you leave oil in a motor for too long than you are lubricating your motor with dirty oil, oil also loses its viscosity to lubricate and that is why there is a time span. Both oil companies along with manufacturers have increased there oil change (servicing) intervals to some silly kilometre and time spams, sometimes common sense prevails. Use a good quality oil, no need to buy the top of the range and maintain your bike
The service duration is affected by many things.. If you are driving in a dusty atmosphere or doing a lot of high RPM but low gear driving, change the oil every 2500kms. if you do mainly highway driving with low rpm but top gear, change the oil every 5000 kms. As a rule, I always replace the oil filter at every oil change even though toyota says you dont have to.
Ideally you should change the oil every 2000 km. Timely change of oil is vital for all 4 stroke engines. As a simple test after 2000 km touch the oil and feel the viscosity you will note the oil is no longer viscous and feels like water. Under extreme heat oil loses its viscosity faster. If you change oil at 2000 km regularly you will observe that your mileage and drive performance improves.
