an oil spill.

Changing the engine oil
The engine oil must be changed according
to the intervals specified in your Mainte­
nance booklet.
This is very important because the lubricat­
ing properties of oil diminish gradually dur­
ing normal vehicle use.
Under some circumstances the engine oil
should be changed more frequently.
Change oil more often if you drive mostly
short distances, operate the vehicle in dusty
areas or under predominantly stop-and-go
traffic conditions, or have your vehicle
where temperatures remain below freezing
for extended periods.
Detergent additives in the oil will make
fresh oil look dark after the engine has been
running for a short time. This is normal and
is not a reason to change the oil more often
than recommended.
