Why change the oil on your scooter?

Changing the oil is the most important maintenance you should perform on your scooter.
Engine oil cools, lubricates and cleans the engine block. If the engine oil is too old, it can cause a lot of wear. Too little oil is even more dangerous! This can cause a seizure, which can mean between €500 and €1,000 in repair costs.

The Castrol Power RS ​​Racing 5W-40 4T is the best fully synthetic engine oil for 4-stroke scooters.

In fact; Piaggio scooters are 'powered by Castrol' and these scooter manufacturers recommend this engine oil for a long life. Therefore, use the Castrol oil from our webshop and do not use cheap oil such as Valvoline from Action.

Maintenance interval for Piaggio Zip:

Our interval advice to properly maintain your scooter:

• 500 km oil change (engine oil + oil filter change)
• 1,500 km (Gear oil and engine oil + oil filter replaced)
• 4,000 km
• Then every 3,000 km or every 12 months

Why do we recommend a service every 3,000 km?

This keeps the scooter running smoothly, economically and quietly. This limits the chance of damage and repairs, because all parts are subject to minimal wear and tear.
Of course, parts such as the spark plug and V-belt do not need to be replaced every 3,000 kilometers, provided they are original!
It is wise to check the important parts and replace them when necessary. Parts such as the vario guides, air filter and oil are very important to replace regularly. In addition, the costs of these parts are very low and this can easily be done by yourself.

Tip for assembly: Drive the scooter a bit before changing the oil. This makes the oil warm and thinner, making it easier to get it out of the block.
