2. Using a suitable brush, clean the carbon deposits

from the screen taking care not to damage the screen.

NOTE: If the screen or gasket is damaged in any

way, it must be replaced.

Engine/Transmission Oil - 

Filter

OIL - FILTER

Change the engine oil and oil filter at the scheduled inter-

vals. The engine should always be warm when the oil is

changed so the oil will drain easily and completely.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.

2. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the engine

and drain the oil into a drain pan; then remove the

center console, seat, seat back, and seat base.

Account for and discard the drain plug gasket.

PR078A

3. Using the Oil Filter Wrench and a ratchet handle (or a

socket or box-end wrench), remove the oil filter and

discard the O-ring. 

NOTE: Clean up any excess oil after removing the

filter.

4. Apply fresh oil to a new filter O-ring and check to

make sure it is positioned correctly; then install the

new oil filter. Tighten securely.

5. Install the engine drain plug with a new gasket and

tighten to 16 ft-lb. Pour the specified amount of the

recommended oil in the filler hole.

HDX459A

6. Start the engine (while the vehicle is outside on level

ground) and allow it to idle for a few minutes.

7. Turn the engine off and wait approximately one minute;

then unscrew the oil level stick and wipe it with a clean

cloth.

8. Install the oil level stick and thread into the engine case.

9. Remove the oil level stick; the oil level must be within

the operating range but not exceeding the upper mark.

CAUTION

Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could cause
serious engine damage. Do not use oils which contain
graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils can
adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recommended
are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and castor-based oils.
