leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run

CAUTION
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genu-
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, make
sure it is of equivalent quality and
follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
• Oil leaks from around the oil filter
or drain plug indicate incorrect
installation or gasket damage. If
you find any leaks or are not sure
that the filter has been properly
tightened, have the vehicle
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
