2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, and then reinstall the 12×15 mm drain
plug and a new sealing washer. Tighten the plug securely.

Improper disposal of engine oil can be harmful to the environment. If you change

recycling center. Do not discard it in a trash bin, dump it on the ground, or pour it
down a drain.
