How to Change the Engine Oil of an Aprilia RS 457?

Model: Aprilia Rs 457
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the engine oil of an Aprilia RS 457, start by positioning the bike on a central or side stand for stability. Ensure the engine is warm but not hot. Locate the oil sump plug, usually found on the underside of the engine.

Using an appropriate spanner, unscrew the plug and place a suitable container under the engine to collect the used oil. Allow the used oil to drain completely into the container. Once the oil sump is empty, securely refit the plug.

Next, find the oil filler cap, typically located on the engine housing. Remove the cap and use a funnel to pour new engine oil into the tank.

Refer to the owner's manual for the correct type and quantity of oil. After adding oil, close the filler cap. Start the engine for a few minutes and check for any oil leaks. Finally, check the oil level using the dipstick and add oil if necessary to bring it to the correct level.

Remember to dispose of the used oil properly at an authorised collection centre.
