Motoröl und Ölfilter Wechsel Vespa GTS 300 hpe

Introduction

This tutorial is designed to guide you through the process of changing the engine oil and oil filter on a Vespa GTS 300 hpe, specifically the 2019 model. You can perform this maintenance task yourself, saving time and money while ensuring your scooter runs smoothly. Following these steps will help you understand the process and ensure you complete the job correctly.

Step 1: Prepare for the Oil Change

• Gather the necessary tools and parts:
  • 1.3 liters of 5W-40 engine oil
  • Oil filter
  • Gasket for the internal oil filter (oil sieve)
  • Gasket for the oil drain plug
  • 24mm socket
  • Pipe wrench
  • Oil catch pan
  • Funnel
  • Brake cleaner
• Ensure you have a warm engine to facilitate oil drainage.

Step 2: Warm Up the Engine

• Start the engine and let it run until it reaches operating temperature.
• This makes the oil thinner, allowing it to flow out more easily.

Step 3: Drain the Old Oil

• Once the engine is warm, touch the oil drain plug to check the temperature.
• Using the 24mm socket, unscrew the oil drain plug:
  • Apply light pressure while unscrewing.
  • As you reach the final thread, quickly pull the plug away to minimize oil spillage.
• Allow the old oil to drain completely into the catch pan.

Step 4: Remove Filters

• Unscrew the oil filler cap to allow air in, promoting complete drainage.
• Pull out the internal oil filter (oil sieve).
• Unscrew the external oil filter:
  • Use a wrench if necessary but avoid overtightening.

Step 5: Clean Components

• While the oil is draining, clean the oil drain plug and internal oil filter.
• Replace the gaskets on both the internal filter and drain plug.

Step 6: Reassemble the Components

• Once the old oil has completely drained, reinstall the internal oil filter.
• Screw the oil drain plug back in, ensuring it is snug but not overly tight. Refer to the motorcycle manual for the correct torque specifications.

Step 7: Install the External Oil Filter

• Fill the new external oil filter with fresh oil before installation.
• Screw it in by hand, ensuring it is secure but not overly tight.

Step 8: Add New Oil

• Place the funnel into the oil filler hole and pour in 1.3 liters of 5W-40 engine oil.
• Replace the oil filler cap securely.

Step 9: Run the Engine

• Start the engine and let it run for about 30 seconds.
• This allows the new oil to circulate and fill the oil filter.

Step 10: Check Oil Level

• After running the engine, turn it off and let it sit for a moment.
• Remove and clean the oil filler cap, then check the oil level with the dipstick.
• If the oil level is low, add more oil as needed.

Step 11: Clean Up

• Clean any spilled oil from the engine and surrounding areas.
• Dispose of the old oil and filters properly.
