Changing Engine Oil
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to stop the engine before changing the
oil.
A
Allow engine to cool down sufficiently, oil can
be hot and can burn.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and raise the cargo
bed. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
2. To drain the used oil, remove the drain plug at the
bottom of the engine and completely drain the oil into
an oil pan.
All the used oil can be drained out easily when the
engine is still warm.
3. After draining, reinstall the drain plug.
4. Fill with the new oil up to the upper notch on the
dipstick. Check the oil level after cranking slightly.
When too much oil is added, drain out the excessive
oil.
(See "LUBRICANTS AND FUEL" in "MAINTENANCE"
section.)
A When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from
the previous one, remove all of the old oil.
Never mix two different types of oil.
A
If oil level is low, do not run engine.
A Clean the area around dipstick and oil inlet before
removing or loosening them, and be careful not to
allow the dust go into the engine.
