Did a compression check. 165psi in both cylinders. According to the manual the usable range is 119psi to 185psi. This means that the engine used up only 1/3 of its potential after 49,000km. After 23 years, are you kidding!? Extremely good results! Did oil and filter change. Struggled to remove the filter. Poured in Motorex 20w-50 semi-synthetic HD oil. $25 for 3L oil (got it on sale) $10 for Fram filter $28 wasted on various tools to remove the stuck oil filter. $2 for crush washers $32 for compression checking kit on Aliexpress.
