Engine oil top-up
Always check oil level before carrying out top-ups and add oil without exceeding the
MAX level. An engine oil check-up and top-up should be carried out every 3,000 km
at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.
Engine oil change (03_03)
Change oil and clean the filter after every 6,000 km at an Authorised Piaggio Service
Centre. Empty the engine by draining the oil through drainage cap «C» with a cold
engine. First unscrew the cap-dipstick used to check engine oil level, then cap «C»
and take out the mesh filter. After cleaning and mounting again the mesh filter, screw
cap «C» and fill with oil the hole of the cap-dipstick used to check engine oil level.
Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: 5 minutes
later check oil level and, if necessary, add oil without exceeding the MAX level. Only
use new oil of the recommend type for oil top-ups and change.
