According to the Yamaha TMAX 560 (XP560 / XP560D) Official Owner’s Manual Maintenance Specifications, the 2020–Present Yamaha TMAX 560 / Tech MAX (XP560) (chassis SJ18/SJ21/XP560D) requires 2.6 L (2.75 US qt) of SAE 10W-40 (JASO MA, API SG or higher) engine oil for a drain-only change and 2.9 L (3.06 US qt) with filter service (5GH-13440-80 / HF204). Standard solo cold tire pressure is 225 kPa / 2.25 bar / 33 PSI front (120/70R15 M/C 56H) and 250 kPa / 2.50 bar / 36 PSI rear (160/60R15 M/C 67H), paired with 2× NGK LMAR7G spark plug(s) and a YTZ12S battery.
Drain only: 2.6 L (2.75 US qt)
R 250 kPa (2.50 bar)
Est. Range: ~312 km (194 mi)

4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Both Gen 7 (2020–2021 SJ18) and Gen 8 (2022+ SJ21 with TFT & SpinForged wheels) use the 562cc parallel-twin engine requiring 2.6 L / 2.9 L of JASO MA oil and two NGK LMAR7G plugs.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
CRITICAL CLUTCH WARNING: Despite being an automatic maxi-scooter, the TMAX 560 uses an oil-bathed wet multi-plate clutch! Never pour JASO MB scooter oil or automotive "Energy Conserving" oil into a TMAX—always use JASO MA or JASO MA2 motorcycle oil to prevent severe clutch slippage.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Because the horizontal twin lays flat in the frame, warm the engine for 2–3 minutes on the centerstand, shut off, and wait 3 minutes before reading the lower sight glass.
- Inspect the exposed rear belt teeth after gravel parking lots; trapped stones can puncture the aramid cords.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why can’t I use JASO MB scooter oil in a Yamaha TMAX 560?
Unlike dry-clutch 300cc scooters, the TMAX 560 runs a wet multi-plate automatic clutch bathed in engine oil. Low-friction JASO MB oil will glaze and slip the clutch plates; JASO MA/MA2 is mandatory.
How much engine oil does the TMAX 560 need with an oil filter change?
Refill volume is 2.6 L without filter and 2.9 L (3.1 US qt) with a new spin-on oil filter.
What are the solo and two-up cold tire pressures for the TMAX 560?
Cold tire pressure is 225 kPa (33 PSI) front, with rear pressure set to 250 kPa (36 PSI) solo or 280 kPa (41 PSI) two-up/loaded.
