5. Put a new washer on the drain
bolt, and then reinstall the
drain bolt. Tighten it to 32 Ib-ft
(4.4 kg-m, 44 N.m).

7. Replace the oil fill cap. Start
the engine. The indicator light
should go out within five
seconds. If it does not, turn off
the engine and inspect your
work.
8. Let the engine run for several
minutes; then, check the drain
bolt and washer and the oil
filter for leaks.
9. Turn off the engine, and wait
for several minutes; then,
check the oil level. If
necessary, add oil to bring the
level to the upper mark on the
dipstick.
If you change your own oil, please
dispose of the used oil properly.
Put it in a sealed container and
take it to a recycling center. Do
not discard it in a waste bin or
dump it on the ground.
The oil and filter should be
changed every 6 months or 7,500
miles (12,000 km), whichever
comes first. Under severe driving
conditions, they should be
changed every 3 months or 3,750
miles (6,000 km). See page
