Changing Engine Oil
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key before
changing the oil.
• Allow engine to cool down sufficiently; oil can be hot and
may cause burns.
1. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area
around the oil fill cap/dipstick before removing it.
2. Remove the oil drain plug, the oil fill cap, and the dipstick. Be
sure to allow ample time for complete drainage.
3. The used oil can be drained out more easily if the engine is
warm.
4. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened to 13.6 N·m
torque.
5. Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper type, to the "F"
mark on the dipstick. (See "4. LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND
COOLANT" on page G-9.) Always check the level with the
dipstick before adding more oil.
6. To check the oil level. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert
it and draw it out again. Check to see that the oil level is between
the two marks.
7. Reinstall the oil fill cap and tighten it securely. Reinstall the
dipstick.
NOTE
• To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always
maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never
operate the engine with the oil level below "LOWER
LEVEL" or over "UPPER LEVEL" on the dipstick.
