hours of running time. Thereafter it should be
changed every 50 hours of running time. If the
engine is run hard or during high temperatures the
oil should be changed every 25 running hours.

Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the
engine is stopped. Therefore
allow the engine to cool down
first.
1. Open the engine hood.

plug.
3. Remove the dip stick. Remove the drain plug on
the left-hand side of the engine.
4. Let the oil run out into the receptacle.
5. Fit the oil plug and tighten well.
6. Fill up with oil to the FULL mark on the dip stick.

CD–CF (over 0°). Use engine oil SAE 5W-30,
class CD–CF (below 0°). The total oil volume in
the engine is 1.3 litres.
7. Run the engine warm and then check that there
is no leakage from the oil plug.
The oil is filled in the same hole as the dip stick.
