ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
CHANGE
Change the engine oil and oil filter
at the scheduled times. The
engine should always be warm
when the oil is changed so the oil
will drain easily. The procedure is
as follows:
1. Park the vehicle on level
ground.
2. Remove the oil filler cap 1.
3. Remove the drain plug 2 from
the bottom of the engine and
drain the oil into a drain pan.
WARNING
New and used oil can be haz-
ardous.
Children and pets may be
harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Continuous contact
with used engine oil has been
found to cause skin cancer in
laboratory animals. Brief con-
tact with used oil may irritate
skin.
Keep new and used oil and
used oil filters away from chil-
dren and pets. To minimize
your exposure to used oil, wear
a long-sleeve shirt and mois-
ture-proof gloves (such as
dishwashing gloves) when
changing oil. If oil contacts
your skin, wash thoroughly
with soap and water. Launder
any clothing or rags if wet with
oil. Recycle or properly dis-
pose of used oil and filters.
