What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil.
(See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and
disposal of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free
-
flowing
oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of
oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground,
into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water.
Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects
used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of
your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local
recycling center for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The air cleaner is located at the front of the engine
compartment, on the driver’s side of the vehicle, under
the engine coolant reservoir.
