Engine Oil Change - PIAGGIO X9 Evolution 500 User Manual

Engine oil change (03_04, 03_05)

Changing the oil and filter must be done every 6,000 km at an Authorized Piaggio
Service Center. The engine must be emptied by draining the oil from cap «B» on the
mesh filter transmission side. Loosen cap/dipstick «A» to drain the oil. Unscrew the
cartridge oil filter and remove it. Then fit a new oil filter, making sure to lubricate the
filter o-ring with engine oil. Since a certain amount of oil remains in the circuit, should
be poured in cap «A». Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes
and switch it off: after around 5 minutes, check the level and top up if necessary
without ever exceeding the MAX level. The cartridge filter should be replaced every
time the oil is changed. For top ups and replacements use new oil of the recommended
type.
