Pictures of my first oil change

[Kenneth76]

Today I made the change of engine oil and transmission in my GTI Kymco People 300 in their first 600 miles, in truth was easier than I thought, and much cheaper to take it to the dealer. I hope the photos will serve as a reference.

I bought the autozone engine oil, but could not find the 5W-50 full synthetic 4-stroke engine oil, but the manual also recommends 10W-40 full synthetic 4-stroke engine oil.

I forgot to take picture transmission oil change, sorry.

Good photos.  I agree, this is a do-it-yourself operation.  It's not that difficult.  Thanks for your report.

Question about replacing the drain bolt after draining the old oil.  When you replace that drain bolt (before adding new oil), do you have to use a torque wrench to replace that bolt?

Obviously, I don't know anything about working on scooters so pls bear with me.

Thanks,

I use a torque wrench because its easy to strip the threads out in aluminum when over tightening a bolt.

Ken: Nice job with the step-by-step pics! I purchased the same brand filter last week. I think you're using synthetic a tad early myself. I would have like to seen you use synthetic after 1500+ miles or so.

I'm sure you'll be fine.
