Engine Oil Change - Gilera Fuoco 500ie LT Manual

Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04)

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
«C». 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 scooter, leave it running for a few minutes
and switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary, top-up without
exceeding the MAX. level. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change.
03_03
For 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.
03_04
USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE
OF THE ENGINE.
CAUTION
USED OILS CONTAIN SUBSTANCES HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. FOR
OIL REPLACEMENT, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE WHICH IS
EQUIPPED TO DISPOSE OF USED OILS IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
AND LEGAL WAY.
