Just changed my oil on the new scoot and couldn't believe what s**t came out. How can they call that green slimey stuff oil???? Will do transmission next. Done spark plug too, I think that's the essentials anyway.

Make sure when changing the oil you watch where the spring shoots to Icon_lol5

, it took me 45 minutes to realize I had a spring in there holding the filter screen in and wondering why there wasnt any tention on the plug
the spring was laying in the tub of old oil at the bottom!

When changing the oil, it is not necessary to use the filter plug. There is a drain plug on the left side.

hi all,

Out of curiosity, what tool is needed to open the oil drain? After trying for about 30 minutes with the parts I had available to me, I was unable to get the drain to budge, and I had to go to an expensive repair shop locally to get it fixed... Any ideas?

Thanks
Zak

MEtric socket wrench (18 or 20, I can't remember).
BTW FOX, the drain plug on the left side of my scoot was stuck, I used a 30 cm long handle and it didn't move. Since the angine case is aluminium, I would rather not strip it's threads like I did on my transmission fiiling hole and stick with the lower drain plug.

Pretty boring for you guys, but I just did my first engine oil and gear oil change. Woo hoo. Thanks for your help, and someone mentioned this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2fSVNYZsSc (Cute chicks always help.)

The video mentioned socket sizes 15, 12 and 10mm on the Honda. On my Jonway, both gear oil ports were 10mm (as is 90% of the scooter), much more convenient when you don't have to keep switching sockets.

And remember to recycle your oil. I don't see that advice often, but most US states have laws against dumping the oil in whatever gutter you please. Ask your local auto parts shop, they usually have a free dump-it barrel which goes for recycling. I just funneled the pan into a 1 quart plastic milk jug, and scooted right over after the job was done.
