Engine Oil Change
Change the engine oil at the sched-
uled times. The engine should always
be warm when the oil is changed so
the oil will drain easily. The procedure
is as follows:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Remove the oil filler cap

.
3. Remove the drain plug

from the
right crankcase and drain the oil
into a drain pan.
4. Reinstall the drain plug and
tighten it securely. Pour about 0.3
L (0.3/0.3 US/Imp qt) of the speci-
fied oil in the filler hole. (See
FUEL AND OIL RECOMMENDA-
TIONS section).
5. Start the engine (while the vehicle
is outside on level ground) and
allow it to idle for a few minutes.

WARNING
New and used oil can be hazard-
ous.
Children and pets may be harmed
by swallowing new or used oil.

may irritate skin.
Keep new and used oil away from
children and pets. To minimize
your exposure to used oil, wear a
long-sleeve shirt and moisture-
proof gloves (such as dishwash-
ing gloves) when changing oil. If
oil contacts your skin, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water. Laun-
der any clothing or rags if wet with
oil. Recycle or properly dispose of
used oil.
