CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL AND TOPPING UP
Carefully read page 57 (MAINTENANCE)
and page 41 (ENGINE OIL).
Periodically check the engine oil level,
change the oil after the first 1000 km (625
mi) and successively every 10000 km
(6250 mi) or 12 months. Have the oil
changed by your aprilia Authorised
Dealer.
For the check, proceed as follows:
NOTE To warm the engine and have the
engine oil reach the operating temperature,
do not let the engine idle with the vehicle at
rest. According to the correct procedure, it
is advisable to carry out the check after a
trip or after covering approximately 15 km
(10 mi) on a road outside town (this is
sufficient for the engine oil to reach the
operating temperature).
u Stop the engine, see page 54
(STOPPING).
u Keep the vehicle in vertical position, with
the two wheels resting on the ground.
u Insert the plug-dipstick (1) completely in
the filler (2), without screwing it.
u Extract the plug-dipstick (1) again and
read the oil level on the dipstick:
MAX = maximum level
MIN = minimum level.
The difference between “MAX” and “MIN”
amounts to approximately 300 cu. cm.
u The level is correct when the oil almost
reaches the “MAX” mark.
CAUTION
Never exceed the “MAX” mark, nor let
the oil get below the “MIN” mark, in
order to avoid serious damage to the
engine.
If necessary, top up the engine oil by
proceeding as follows:
CAUTION
Do not put additives or other
substances into the oil.
If you use a funnel or other similar
items, make sure that they are perfectly
clean.
NOTE Use high-quality 15W – 50 oil,
see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART).
u After extracting the plug-dipstick (1), top
up the tank through the filler (2) until
reaching the correct level, see page 93
(LUBRICANT CHART).
