Engine Oil and Filter (cont'd)
Fuel Efficient Oil
For the best fuel economy from your car, it is recommended that
you use a fuel efficient SG oil. This oil is usually identified by the
words such as: "Energy Conserving II," "Gas Saving," and "Fuel
Saving," etc.
Changing Oil and Filter
Engine oil and filter should be changed together every 6 months or
7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever occurs first. The filter is on the
engine block, below the intake manifold.
CAUTION:
The oil filter cannot easily be
removed from above the engine.
For this reason it is recommended
that the oil filter change be done by
a skilled mechanic.
1. Start the car to warm up the
engine, then shut it off.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt, and drain the oil.
ENGINE OIL DRAIN BOLT
A warmed-up engine and the oil in
it are hot; be careful not to burn
yourself.
3. Remove the oil filter and let the
remaining oil drain out.
4. Install a new fitter according to
instructions on or with the filter.
