Engine Oil Level; Engine Oil Level Check - PIAGGIO Fly 50 4T Manual

Engine oil level

In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench
bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious
damage to the engine itself. In all 4T engines the decay of oil characteristics as well
as some consumption is normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions
of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption increases).
In order to avoid problems, it is advisable to control oil level every time the
vehicle is used.

Engine oil level check (03_01)

Check oil level every time the vehicle is used, with the engine cold. The level should
be between the MAX and MIN marks on the oil level dipstick shown in figure; the stand
should be firm on an even surface during the check.
If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, i.e. the engine is hot, the
level line will be very low; for an adequate check, wait at least 10 minutes after the
engine stops in order to have the correct level.
Check by pushing the dipstick all the way into the hole.
CAUTION
03_01
RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH THE
WRONG LUBRICANTS MAY INCREASE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE MOVING
PARTS AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
