These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer unless you have the proper 

tools and are mechanically proficient.   

 

RENEWING ENGINE OIL 

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.   
 
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, and then remove the 

pad and dipstick and the drain plug.   

2.  Allow  the  used  oil  to  drain  completely,  and  then  reinstall  the  drain  plug  and  pad,  and 

tighten it securely.   

 

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. 
We suggest  you  take  used  oil in  a sealed container  to  your local  recycling center  or 
service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash; pour it on the ground; or 
down a drain.   

 
3. With the engine in a level position, fill to upper limit with the recommended oil.
