Engine Oil Filter; Oil Pressure Warning Light - VESPA GTS 250 I.E. Workshop Manual

Maintenance
1. Place the vehicle on its centre stand and on flat ground.
2. Undo cap/dipstick "A", dry it off with a clean cloth and replace it, screwing down completely.
3. Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that the level is between the min and max. marks; top
up if necessary.
The MAX level mark indicates a quantity of around 1300 cc of engine oil. If the check is carried out after
the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry
out a correct check it is necessary to wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped, so as
to get the correct level.
Oil top up
The oil should be topped up after having checked
the level and in any case by adding oil without
ever exceeding the MAX. level.
Restoration of the level from MIN to MAX requires
approximately 200 cc.

Engine oil filter

The cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed. Use new oil of the recommended
type for topping up and changing purposes.
Make sure the pre-filter and discharge tap O-rings are in good condition. Lubricate them and refit the
mesh filter and oil drainage plug, screwing them up to the specified torque. Refit the new cartridge filter
being careful to lubricate the O-ring before the fitting. Change the engine oil.

Oil pressure warning light

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light on the instrument panel that lights up when the key is turned
to the "ON" position. However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started.
If the light turns on during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to
check the oil level and the lubrication system.
