Engine Oil and Filter - Change
Note:
After the engine has been switched OFF , wait
for 10 minutes in order to allow the engine oil to drain
to the oil pan before checking the oil level.
1.
Maintain the oil level between the
FULL RANGE
marks on the engine oil dipstick. Refer to
illustration 47. Do not
fi
ll the crankcase above the
FULL RANGE marks.

Typical example
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
FULL RANGE marks could cause your crankshaft to
dip into the oil. The air bubbles created from the crank-
shaft dipping into the oil reduces the oils lubricating
characteristics and could result in the loss of power.
2.
Remove the oil
fi
ller cap (1), by rotating
counterclock wise, and add oil, if necessary. Clean
the oil
fi
ller cap. Install the oil
fi
ller cap. Tighten oil
fi
ll cap clockwise, ensure that the oil
fi
ller cap is
secure.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened
component life.
NOTICE
The procedure to change the engine oil and oil
fi
lter for both types of engine are the same, but
the service interval for both engine are different.
Do not drain the engine lubricating oil when the
engine is cold. As the engine lubricating oil cools,
suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of
the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with
draining cold oil. Drain the oil pan with the engine
stopped. Drain the oil pan with the oil warm. This
draining method allows the waste particles that are
suspended in the oil to be drained properly.
Failure to follow this recommended procedure will
cause the waste particles to be recirculated through
the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
Drain the Engine Lubricating Oil
Note:
Ensure that the vessel that will be used is large
enough to collect the waste oil.
After the engine has been run at the normal operating
temperature, stop the engine.
