12-26 Simple inspection and service
CAUTION
• The added oil should be of the same grade
and viscosity as the oil originally placed in
the engine.
• Take care not to add more than the specified
quantity of oil. The engine can be severely
damaged if the correct engine oil level is not
maintained.
• When adding engine oil, take care not to spill
it.
If oil is spilled on a belt, the belt will slip on
pulleys.
1.3 Replacement
NOTE:
You must reset the engine control unit every time
after replacing the engine oil. See 1.4 “Resetting the
engine control unit” for details of the method. If you
cannot do it yourself, have it done by an authorized
dealer.
1. If the engine is cold, warm it up until the engine
oil temperature reaches approximately 40°C
(104°F). (It takes approximately 20 minutes of
idling to raise the engine oil temperature from
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).)
NOTE:
Be sure to warm up the engine. Unless you warm
up the engine, you may not be able to drain engine
oil from the oil filter.
2. Clean the surfaces around the oil filler cap
and remove the oil filler cap.
WARNING
Take care not to spill engine oil as engine oil
on the exhaust manifold or other hot sec-
tions of engine could catch fire. Wipe clean
the oil if spilt.
