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 author-
ized KTM mechanic. Otherwise, the guarantee will become void.
