How to Change the Oil for a Scooter?
1 Answers
The steps to change the oil for a scooter are: 1. Start the engine and place a container beneath the vehicle to catch the used oil that will be drained; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, allowing the oil to flow out; 3. Once the oil has completely drained, screw the drain plug back in; 4. Open the oil filler cap on the engine by hand and pour in the new oil; 5. After completion, simply replace the cap. The primary functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (cleaners) from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation (cleaners), improve piston ring sealing, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving components.
