tools and are mechanically proficient.
RENEWING ENGINE OIL
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, and then remove the
pad and dipstick and the drain plug.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, and then reinstall the drain plug and pad, and
tighten it securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment.
We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling center or
service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash; pour it on the ground; or
down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill to upper limit with the recommended oil.
