stand.
2. Remove the oil filler cap

draining oil.

WARNING
Children and pets may be harmed
by swallowing new or used oil.
Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin
cancer. Brief contact with oil may
irritate skin.
Keep new and used oil and used
oil filters away from children and
pets. To minimize your exposure
to used oil, wear a long-sleeve
shirt and moisture-proof gloves
(such as dishwashing gloves)
when changing oil. If oil contacts
your skin, wash thoroughly with
soap and water. Launder any
clothing or rags if wet with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of
used oil and filters.
