The caps are very hard to unscrew, they stick over time, I had to use a 1.5 meter bar. The oil filter bell is also hard to unscrew
Very clear and simple tutorial to do.
In my case, I have to do the oil change of the 2004 R50 where the previous owner had the delicate idea of putting thread lock on the drain plug and on the oil filter. Result: A rounded plug that has not moved an inch (I even tried hot and cold, nothing works), Same for the oil filter despite a lever arm (tube) of almost 1 m. In short, oil change done by suction, but for the filter…
