Changing the engine oil and the oil filter, cleaning the oil
screen *
NOTE: The LC8 engine has a dry-sump lubrication system. The engine oil is
pumped from the oil sump in the engine case to the oil tank. The engine oil
must also be drained from the oil tank during an oil change. Since many
parts must be demounted for an oil change, we recommend having the
engine oil changed by an authorized KTM workshop.
During the guaranty period, the oil change must be performed by an autho-
rized KTM mechanic. Otherwise, the guarantee will become void.
The engine oil change is to be carried out when the engine is still warm.
