hold the drained oil directly under the oil drain plug.
(Figures 5-1 and 5-2 on previous page.)
2. Unscrew and remove oil drain plug. Allow the used
oil to drain completely.
3. Reinstall the oil drain plug.
4. Remove the oil ll cap.
5. Rell the engine oil with one (1) quart (.94 liters) of
oil.
6. Reinstall the ller cap. Crank engine and idle, then
