Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
from the engine and allow the oil to drain into the oil
drain pan (Ref. Fig. 6). The ‘O’ ring (5) may remain on
engine (6) or filter (7) (Ref. Fig. 7).
Inspect the filter to make sure the ‘O’ ring is not left on
the engine surface (6), if the ’O’ ring has remained on
the engine surface remove it and discard with the filter.
Fig. 7 Inspect Oil Filter
Inspect the new oil filter for any defects, apply engine oil
to the ’O’ ring seal and install the new oil filter onto the
engine until the seal contacts mounting surface of the
engine. Then turn the filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotation by hand.
Pour in the specified type and amount of oil.
Oil capacity is 1.4 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less
than 1.4 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual
oil left in engine (Ref. Fig. 8). The oil must be high qual-
ity oil that meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards
(Ref. Fig. 3). Check oil level on dipstick. Oil should be
slightly below ‘H’ to allow for expansion. If necessary,
continue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow
down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick.
Do NOT
overfill.
Do NOT overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking
or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Fig. 8 Add Engine Oil
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before oper-
ating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will
result in oil being discharged into the engine compartment.
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehi-
cle on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in vol-
ume when warm. The full ‘H’ mark on the dipstick is
calibrated for an engine at operating temperature. When
the engine is cold, the oil will be below the ’H’ mark. The
engine can be operated safely as long as the oil is within
the safe operating range as indicated on the dipstick.
Do
NOT operate vehicle if oil level is below the safe
area indicated on the dipstick.
