Title: Changing of the oil.
Post by: 08087 on April 04, 2013, 11:36:10 PM

So I changed my eng. oil today, I found the drain screw, nut, plug easy enough, removed it, drained the old oil, replaced the screw, nut, plug and added new 10-40 to the eng via the dipstick hole. What I didn't find was any kind of filter or screen, where should I be looking for this screen/filter?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome.  You probably want to add your scooter model and your location to your profile and signature.

Not knowing the model, some models have just a screen and no filter. 
On some, the screen is separate from the drain plug and on others they use the same bolt.

Do you have a users manual ?

Scoot safely,

I'll remember that for the next change, I have a small compressor maybe I'll use that. Did I send you a PM? I can't find it.

I just tip my bike over to get more oil out of the oil pan.  :)

Thanks for the photo, it helps. Next time I change the oil I'll pull the "screen" too.
