Topping Up Engine Oil - APRILIA SCARABEO 50 2T - 2005 Manual

ENGINE OIL
504T 1004T
In 4-stroke engines is used to lubricate
driving parts, main bearings and cylinder-
piston unit.
WARNING
Low oil level can damage the engine.
In all 4-stroke engines, the loss of the oil
features and oil consumption can be
considered a normal condition.
Consumption especially depends on use
conditions (e.g. oil consumption increases
when always riding "full throttle").
According to the total quantity of engine oil
and average consumption measured
through standard procedures, it is possible
to determine the scheduled change
interval.
CAUTION
In order to prevent any trouble, it is
recommended to check oil level each
time the vehicle is used.
