Engine Oil
NOTICE
The procedures for checking the
Spyder roadster oil level and replacing oil are
different from most of the motor vehicles to-
day. Properly follow instructions provided in
this section.
Recommended Engine Oil
NOTE:
For SM5 models, the same oil lubricates
the engine, the gearbox and the clutch.
NOTE:
For SE5 models, the same oil lubricates the
engine, the gearbox, the clutch and the HCM (hy-
draulic control module).
Use
XPS 4-STROKE SYNTH. BLEND OIL (SUMMER)
(P/N 293 600 121)
.
If not available, use a 5W40 semi-synthetic (mini-
mum) or synthetic
motorcycle oil
meeting the re-
quirements for API service SL, SJ, SH or SG clas-
sification. Always check the API service label on
the oil container.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the clutch, do not
use a motor oil meeting the API service SM or
ILSAC GF-4 classification. Clutch slippage will
occur. Motorcycle oils designed for use with a
wet-clutch are the best alternative.
NOTICE
Do not add any oil additives to the
recommended oil. This may lead to gearbox
and clutch malfunctions.
