How to Replace the Engine Oil on a Yamaha Xmax

Model: Yamaha Xmax 250
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

In this short video, learn how to change the engine oil on your Yamaha Xmax 250. If possible, place the scooter on a hydraulic workbench for easier access. Gather a socket spanner and a container to place under the drain plug to collect the used oil. Remove the drain plug located at the front of the casing and wait for all the oil to drain out. Meanwhile, unscrew the cap where the filter sits and clean the mesh with some scooter fuel.

Once done, refit the filter cap and then the oil cap (replace the copper washer). Finally, unscrew the filler cap and pour in the new oil.
