Aprilia AP3HAA000309 Engine Oil Filter – Scarabeo 125 and 200 Light (2007-2012)

The Aprilia AP3HAA000309 oil filter is the original engine filter for the Scarabeo 125 and 200 Light, both carburetor and fuel-injected versions. It's the part that traps metallic residue and impurities that the oil collects as it circulates through the engine: when it gets clogged, the bypass valve opens, and the engine receives unfiltered oil, with dirt returning directly to the bearings, crankshaft, and timing system. It's the cheapest replacement part in the entire service and at the same time the one that protects the most expensive component of the scooter. The rule is simple and has no exceptions: it must be replaced with every oil change, not every other service.

Recommended products

The oil filter never travels alone: for a service, you also need the recommended grade of engine oil, the drain plug gasket, and, with the same frequency, the air filter and the spark plug. In our catalog, you will find original spare parts for all routine maintenance of the Scarabeo, allowing you to place a single order.

Who it's perfect for

• Those who service their Scarabeo Light themselves and want the original filter without going to the dealership
• Workshops that stock the most requested filters in the Aprilia range
• Those who have bought a used Scarabeo and want to start with new oil and filter, without trusting the declared service record
• Those who travel many kilometers in the city, where oil degrades faster than in extra-urban use

Frequently asked questions

What is the AP3HAA000309 oil filter?
It is the original Aprilia engine oil filter, cataloged as "oil filter". It traps metallic residues and impurities that the oil collects during engine operation, and it is the replacement part provided by the manufacturer for the Scarabeo Light 125 and 200.

How often should it be replaced?
With every engine oil change, following the interval indicated in your Scarabeo's manual. It is not advisable to skip a service: a saturated filter opens the bypass valve, and from that moment on, unfiltered oil reaches the engine, with dirt re-entering circulation.

Which Scarabeo models does it fit?
On the Scarabeo 125-200 Light carburetor from 2007 to 2010 and on the IE Light versions from 2009 to 2012. Other displacements and Scarabeo series use filters with different codes: check the code in your frame's catalog.

How is it installed correctly?
Lightly lubricate the gasket with clean engine oil, screw it on by hand, and tighten it according to the torque specified in the manual. Excessive tightening will deform the seal and cause leaks. After the first start-up, check the level and ensure there are no leaks.

Can I use an aftermarket filter?
Retailers indicate the Hiflofiltro HF186 as a commercial equivalent. However, the original Aprilia filter is dimensioned for your engine's lubrication circuit, and for a part that costs only a few euros, the savings do not justify the risk.
