An insufficient quantity of oil can seriously damage the en- gine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and certain consumption should be considered normal.

  • Page 35: Engine Oil Level Check

    Engine oil level check (03_02) Every time the scooter is used, a visual check should be made on the level of the engine oil when the engine is cold. The oil level should be somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level bar; the check must be made with the scooter upright, resting on the centre stand.

  • Page 36: Engine Oil Change

    Engine oil change (03_03) The oil and the cartridge filter «C» must be changed after 1000 km and every 6000 km at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.
