Changing the engine oil (models with frame oil)

NOTE: For improved cooling of the engine oil, the front tube of the
frame was integrated into the oil circuit.Thus, when you change the oil,
you also have to drain the engine oil from the front tube and bleed the
oil system.
If the oil system is not bled at all or bled insufficiently, the bearings of
the engine will not get enough lubrication, which in turn may result in
engine failure.
The engine oil change is to be carried out when the engine is still warm.
