With this practical oil pan, you always have control over the engine oil in your Vespa engine. Already available for the new HPE models without dipstick port - and soon also for the older HPE models with dipstick port on the oil pan.
I think this part is brilliant - I could have come up with that idea too! But Peter from Buchsenfuchs had it first and implemented it perfectly.
Thanks to this tuning trick for Vespa GTS, the annoying, time-consuming and inaccurate control of the oil level using the dipstick is no longer necessary. A quick check is now done via the oil sight glass.
We offer the oil pans in the following colors - always included: black anodized sight glasses!
The dipstick remains available for checking. The center of the sight glass shows you the maximum oil level. The sight glass also functions as a spirit level.
TIP: Compare the oil level the first 2-3 times with the dipstick to get a feel for the display in the sight glass!
The oil light on the Vespa is an oil pressure control. If it lights up, the engine is usually already damaged, if the loss of oil pressure is due to too little oil.
Only new original Piaggio oil pans are used for production, which are elaborately machined with a CNC milling machine for the installation of the oil sight glass.
We also recommend changing the oil and the oil filter right away. There are also practical inspection kits for this.
Installing an oil pan is easy - but you should work cleanly. Here we have information on the Vespa GTS oil pan and the installation.
