Place the oil drain pan under the oil drain plug (1) found at
the rear of the engine base. Remove the drain plug (1),
allow the oil to drain into the pan. At the first oil change,
small
metal chips and lint may be found. This is normal,
resulting from the break-in period. Inspect the filter at every
oil change. The presence of large metal chips could indi-
cate possible damage to the engine. Before installing the
drain plug clean the area around the drain hole with a lint
free cloth and inspect the drain plug (1) for damage;
replace if necessary. If the O-ring (2) on the drain plug is
damaged replace it with a new one. Tighten the drain plug
to 62 in. lbs (7 Nm) torque.
Clean the area around filter. Using a filter wrench, strap
wrench or other suitable wrench (3), remove the filter (4)
from the engine and allow the oil to drain.
The O-ring (5) may remain on engine (6) or filter (7).
Inspect the filter. Make sure the O-ring (5) is not left on the
engine surface, if the O-ring (5) remained on the engine
surface (6), remove it and discard with the filter (7).
Inspect the new oil filter for any defects, apply engine oil to
the oil filter O-ring (5) and install oil filter onto the engine
until the seal contacts mounting surface of the engine.
Then turn the filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotations by HAND(S). Pour in
the specified type and amount of oil See “Capacity and
Replacement Parts” chart on page 55.
Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less
than 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual
oil left in engine. The oil must be high quality oil that meets
or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards. Check oil level on
dipstick. Oil should be slightly below ‘H’ to allow for expan-
sion. If necessary, continue to add oil slowly and allow time
for oil to flow down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick.
Do not overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or
allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
