Maintenance: changing oil

The most important maintenance is changing the oil. If you drive your moped regularly you should change the oil every 3 months. Poor about 0.75l (0.1981 gal) oil in the carter, check the correct oil level without the oil lever being screwed into the carter.

how to measure the oil level

I always use plain motor oil (15W 40, useable between -20 and +30�C outside temp.).
Here you find the application of plain and Multigrade oil:

To change the oil you must unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the carter. In most cases this bolt won't come lose anymore. I've solved this by drilling a hole through the bolt (size 5 or 5.5mm) and then I've cut screw thread (M6) in the hole. Don't forget to stick an oil- and heatproof washer between the M6 bolt and the old bolt.
