Model: Yamaha T Max
Part: Engine oil

In this video, we will see the correct way to measure the oil level on the Yamaha T-Max 530. First, the oil level should be checked when the engine is warm, at operating temperature; if the fan kicks in, that's even better: place the scooter on the centre stand and let it run for another minute before checking the oil. If you check the oil when cold, it will always appear full; in fact, if you see the oil at the minimum when cold, it means there is little or no oil left. The engine of this vehicle is designed so that the oil is contained entirely in the casing, so checking it when cold will always show the sight glass full. The correct indication is when the engine is warm, and the correct level is when the sight glass shows a small air window at the top. That is the correct indication.
