Engine Oil Change
An engine oil evacuation device may
be used to remove the engine oil.
Drain the used oil while the engine is
warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Unlatch and remove the engine
cover (p. 80).
2. Place a suitable container below the
oil drain guide to catch the used oil,
and then remove the oil filler cap
(p. 81) and the drain bolt.
3. Allow the used oil to drain
completely. Use a new sealing
washer, and then reinstall the
engine oil drain bolt and washer.
Tighten the drain bolt securely.

Improper disposal of engine oil can
be harmful to the environment. 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 throw it in
the trash, pour it on the ground or
down a drain.
