Engine Oil Top-Up; Warning Light (Insufficient Oil Pressure); Engine Oil Change - VESPA LX 125 150 Euro 3 User Manual

Engine oil top-up

Always check oil level before carrying out top-ups and add oil without exceeding the
MAX level. An engine oil check-up and top-up should be carried out every 3,000 km
at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned to
the «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_02, 03_03)

Oil must be changed and filter replaced at an Authorised Service Centre (as indi-
cated in the Scheduled Maintenance Table). The engine should be emptied by
draining the oil from the drainage plug «B » of the gauze filter on the flywheel side. In
order to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A». Since a certain quantity of
oil remains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out from the cap«A».
Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after
about five minutes check the level and if necessary top up without exceeding the
MAX level.
The cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed. For top-ups and
changes use new oil of the recommended type.
WARNING
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.
