Oil and Oil Filter Change on Piaggio MP3 500

Model: Piaggio Mp3 500
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

For this model, it is recommended to use a 4t 10W40 lubricant. Start the engine for a few minutes to make the used oil more liquid, facilitating its subsequent drainage.

Unscrew the bolt that serves as the plug for the drain hole located on the left and bottom of your scooter and collect the used oil in a container. While this drains, use a pipe wrench to unscrew the oil filter and insert the new part you purchased, remembering to lubricate the O-ring before fitting it in place.

Close the drain hole and fill with new lubricant from the upper hole, as shown in the video.

Vespa Immobiliser: How to Transfer the Chip from the Old Key

In the case shown in the video, the new keys are not recognised by the ECU: the Vespa starts but does not run (thus the immobiliser is active). The solution shown in the video involves locating the immobiliser chip in the old key (the one recognised by the ECU). Open the cover on the key (only red master keys or some blue ones), remove the chip (which is a small black cylinder or rectangle), insert it into the new key in place of the new one, and try to start. Now the key will work. If the master key is red, it will definitely work. If it is blue, it might work: you need to cut the silicone; this is possible but a delicate operation. If it is a black clone key, then it is a system that does not work.
