Engine oil change (03_02, 03_03)
The oil and cartridge filter " C " must be changed after 1,000 km and every 10,000 km
at an authorised Piaggio service centre . The engine should be emptied by draining
the oil from the drainage cap " B " of the gauze filter on the flywheel side. In order to
facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity of oil re-
mains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of
oil from cap "
A ". Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and
switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top up without ex-
ceeding the MAX. level . The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change.
For top up and change, use new oil of the recommended type.
