Engine Oil And Oil Lter Element - Yamaha 135LC 2022 Owner's Manual

Engine oil and oil lter ele-
ment
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil lter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals speci ed
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil ller cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil ller hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
