CHANGING ENGINE OIL
Changing engine oil
Change engine oil in the crankcase at recommended
interval. Engine oil should be drained while it is hot. Unscrew
engine sump drain plug and allow oil to drain out fully.
Changing oil filter
Unscrew and remove engine oil filter with the help of special
tool, if necessary. Engine oil filter is a spin-on type and
cannot be re-used. Change engine oil filter with every oil
change.
Always use genuine engine oil filter for replacement
Destroy the oil filter to avoid resale of the same by
unscrupulous people. Fill the new oil filter with fresh engine
oil. Smear a little engine oil on rubber gasket of new engine
oil filter. Hand tighten the filter fully and tighten it a further
half turn with a special tool. Do not overtighten engine oil
filter as this may damage oil filter and oil may leak out.
Before filling in fresh oil in the engine, refill the sump drain
plug using a new sealing washer. Tighten drain plug to 4
mkg torque.
Fill in specified quantity of fresh engine oil in the engine
crankcase. Start engine and run for a few minutes.
Stop the engine and re-check oil level after approx. 20
minutes. Top up if oil level is less than midway between
upper and lower marks on the dipstick.
