- Ensure that the engine is either warm or cold so that the exhaust will not burn the skin
- Use working gloves to prevent skin from oil
- Take necessary precautions when tightening & removing the drain bolt/plug & oil filler/dipstick. Uneven or improper threading leads to very expensive damages.
- Dispose the old engine oil safely or return back the oil to scrap dealer or oil dealer
Tools
- 16mm socket & drive or spanner or adjustable wrench
- Plastic tray to dispense existing engine oil
- Measuring jar to measure new engine oil
- Small funnel
- Mechanic Plier, helps if the oil filler cap/dipstick is tight & cannot be opened with bare hands
Procedure
Step 1
- Position the scooter in main stand/upright position & remove the engine oil drain bolt using a 16mm wrench/spanner
- Let the oil drain completely & collect it in a tray to dispose off properly; tilt the scooter towards right to drain off the oil completely

Step 2
- Once the oil is drained completely, close the engine drain using the drain bolt & tighten it. Ensure that it is tigtened adequate so that the oil does not leak when filled.
- Open the Oil filler/dipstick with hands or using pliers. Care should be taken not to break the top of the dipstick if using pliers.
- Using a measuring jar, measure about 800 ml of good quality 4 stroke engine oil of 20W-40 grade & fill the engine oil in the crankcase using the funnel.
Tip - During this process, it is convenient to park the scooter on side stand/slanting position rather than main stand/upright position.


Step 3
- Once the engine oil is filled, close the oil filler/dipstick & tighten adequately.
- Start the engine & idle for 2-3 minutes
- Stop the engine & ensure that the oil level is at upper level mark/max level


Notes
1. If the oil level is not at max level, wipe the oil filler/dipstick with a cloth, top up the engine oil to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
2. Now reinsert the wiped oil filler/dipstick without screwing it in
3. Remove the oil filler/dipstick
4. The oil level should be between the upper & lower marks/max level & min level on the dipstick
Important - During this process, ensure that the scooter is in upright position or on main stand.


Can anyone tell (with pics if possible) where is this strainer screen exactly located?
... the oil strainer screen is NOT located near the drain bolt. It is on the other side i.e. near the side stand. A clear description is given in the owners manual. A couple of years ago when i asked for the oil strainer screen at the ASC parts section.. they were like
