IMPORTANT: Change oil when the engine is warm from operation.
Warm oil flows more freely, carrying away more impurities. Use
only recommended motor oil (see
Specifications
).
NOTE: To allow the oil to drain from the filter, loosen the filter just
enough to break the internal vacuum (approximately 1/4 turn).
Then turn the filter back clockwise until the oil filter seal makes light
contact with the housing (approximately an 1/8 turn) to prevent
unwanted oil leakage. Let the oil drain back into the system for 15
minutes prior to complete removal of the filter.
