CAUTION: Used engine oil contains harmful contaminants that
have caused skin cancer in laboratory animals. Avoid prolonged
skin contact. Clean skin and nails thoroughly using soap and
water–not mineral oil, fuels or solvents. Launder or discard
clothing, shoes or rags containing used engine oil.
NOTICE: Your diesel engine does not need periodic cleaning, nor
does Isuzu recommend it be cleaned. However, if you insist on
cleaning the engine, clean it only when it is cold, never when it is
warm or hot, and never when the engine is running. Spraying or
pouring water or other fluids on your engine when it is warm or
hot, or when it is running, can cause serious damage to the engine
and its components, particularly the fuel supply pump.
Discard used engine oil and other oils properly.
EXTERNAL DIESEL ENGINE CLEANING
USED OIL DISPOSAL
Do not dispose of used engine oil (or any other oil) in a careless
manner such as pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams
or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a used oil
collection facility which may be found in your community. If you have a
problem disposing of your used oil, it is suggested that you contact
your dealer or service station. (This also applies to diesel fuel which is
contaminated with water. See “Diesel Fuel Requirements and Fuel
System” in Section 2.)
