Engine lubricant oil replacement
Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so
as to avoid the risk of burning.
Place a suitable container for collecting the spent oil under the oil
sump (3) next to the lubricant oil drain plug.
Unscrew the lubricant oil drain plug; afterwards extract the oil level
dipstick and remove the lubricant oil cap (1) to assist the flow of
the engine lubricant oil.
Wait until the oil sump (3) has completely emptied, then retighten
the lubricant oil drain plug.
Proceed with the refilling operation through the hole situated on
the tappet cover, using lubricant oil that meets the international
standards API CJ-4 / ACEA E9, as indicated in the REFILLING
table.
Use the oil dipstick (2) to check that the lubricant oil level does
not exceed the "Max" limit.
Whether it should be difficult to make the evaluation, proceed
cleaning the oil dipstick (2) using a clean cloth with no rag grinding
and put it back in its slot. Draw it off again and check the level.
Retighten the lubricant oil cap (1).
Together with the replacement of the engine lubricant oil it is
necessary to replace the oil filter (see REPLACE ENGINE OIL
FILTER paragraph).
