Engine Oil Change - PIAGGIO X8 400 i.e. Owner's Manual

Engine oil change (03_04, 03_05, 03_06)

The engine oil and filter must be replaced every 6,000 km at an Authorised Piaggio-
Gilera 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.
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 approx. 1500 cc 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. For top-ups and
oil changes, use new oil of the recommended type.
