Engine Oil Top-Up; Warning Light (Insufficient Oil Pressure) (03_02; Engine Oil Change - APRILIA SR MAX 300 i.e. Manual

Engine oil top-up

Any topping up with oil must be carried out after oil level check and by adding oil, but
never exceeding the MAX level. The topping up of the level between MIN and
MAX requires approx. 400 cm³ of oil. According to the instructions in the scheduled
maintenance tables, engine oil level should be checked and topped up, if necessary,
at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_02)

The scooter is equipped with a warning light «E» that lights up when the key is turned
to «ON» . However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If
the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is
necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-
up the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while
turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-
ice Centre.

Engine oil change (03_03)

Have oil changed and the cartridge filter «C» replaced as indicated in the scheduled
maintenance table at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptied
by draining the oil through drainage plug «B » of the mesh filter on the flywheel side.
In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity
of oil still remains in the circuit, add approx. 950 ÷ 1000 cm³ of oil through the cap
«A. Then start the engine, leave it running for a few minutes and shut it off: after 5
minutes, check the level and if necessary, top-up without exceeding the MAX lev-
el. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top-ups and changes,
use new oil of the recommended type.
