The oil in the Minimec needs to be changed every 50 hours. It is not that complicated, but it is difficult to get to the bolts.
There is one bolt on top of the fuel pump, one on the side and one on the bottom. After many experiments we now take the bolt of and put a hose with a small funnel below when the bolt is out. About 4.5 cups of oil will come out and once it is drained you use just normal engine oil as the new oil. Go slow with filling the last cup. As soon as the oil comes out of the opening where the middle bolt is sitting, there is enough oil in the pump.
I would suggest to really stick with the 50 hours and not go to the 100 hours as sometimes is suggested.
Which bolt do you take out, dammit! In what order? Please try again with a better explanation. Thanks.
