GEARBOX FLUID

CHECKING AND TOPPING UP
WARNING
Check the gearbox oil level when the engine is
hot.
NOTE Letting the engine idle with the vehicle at standstill is
not the correct procedure to warm the engine and engine oil
up to operating temperature for an oil check. Oil is best
checked after taking a short ride; 15 Km (10 mi) will be
enough.
•
Stop the engine.
•
Keep the vehicle upright with both wheels on the
ground.
•
Unscrew and remove the inspection plug (1) on the
right side of the gearbox.
• The correct level is just below the hole of the
inspection plug (1).
If necessary:
•
Top up with oil (see 2.1.3 LUBRICANT TABLE) until
the level reaches the hole of the inspection plug (1).
WARNING
Do not add additives or other substances to the
fluid.
If you use a funnel or other tool, ensure it is
perfectly clean.
CHANGE
NOTE Change oil when it is hot, as it will be more fluid and
will drain more easily.
•
Place a suitable container under the drain plug (2).
• Unscrew and remove the drain plug (2).
• Unscrew and remove the filler plug (1).
•
Drain the oil into the container and let all remaining oil
drip out for several minutes.
•
Check the sealing washers of the drain plug (2) and
replace if worn.
•
Clean off any metal debris sticking to the drain plug (2)
magnet.
• Refit the drain plug (2) and tighten.
•
Fill with fresh oil (see 2.1.3 LUBRICANT TABLE) until
the level reaches the hole of the inspection plug (1).
•
Tighten the filler plug (1).
WARNING
Do not add additives or other substances to the
fluid.
If you use a funnel or other tool, ensure it is
perfectly clean.
