Changing the Engine Oil
8"3/*/(
If the engine has been recently run, the
engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will
be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
NOTE:
The oil filter should be changed at every oil change
interval. To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the
1.
crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and
carry away more of the engine sediment which may have
settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to avoid
burns from hot oil.
