Engine Oil
Oil and Filter Changes
Always change the oil and filter
according to the time and kilomet-
rage (mileage) recommendations in
the maintenance schedule. The oil
and filter collect contaminants that
can damage your engine if they are
not removed regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the car. The car should
be raised on a service station-type
hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge
and proper equipment, you should
have this maintenance done by a
skilled mechanic.
1. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.
2. Open the hood and remove the
engine oil fill cap. Remove the oil
drain bolt from the bottom of the
engine. Drain the oil into an
appropriate container.
