Engine Oil Change - PIAGGIO MP3 LT 400 i.e. Instruction Manual

Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04, 03_05)

The oil and the filter must be changed as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table
at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptied by draining the oil
via the drainage tap «B» of the mesh filter on the transmission side. In order to facilitate
oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A». Unscrew and remove the oil cartridge filter.
Install a new oil filter taking care to lubricate the sealing O-rings with engine oil. Since
a certain quantity of oil still remains in the circuit, add approximately 1500 cm³ of oil
through cap «A». Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes and
switch it off: after 5 minutes, check the level and if necessary, top-up without ex-
ceeding the MAX level. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For
03_03
top-ups and oil changes, use new oil of the recommended type.
CAUTION
RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-
QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING
PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.
TOPPING UP THE ENGINE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL MAY CAUSE
MALFUNCTION AND/OR A DROP IN PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.
USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE
OF THE ENGINE.
