ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
The oil should be changed while the engine is warm. Oil filter
replacement at the above intervals, should be done together
with the engine oil change.
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
• Place an oil pan under the drain plug
1 on the crankcase and
drain plug
2 on the oil tank. Then drain out the engine oil by
removing the engine oil drain plug
1, 2 and engine oil filler
cap
3.
• Reinstall the drain plug
1, 2 and gasket. Tighten the engine
oil drain plug
1 and 2 to the specified torque, and then pour
the new oil through the oil filler hole. When performing an oil
change (without oil filter replacement), the engine will hold
about 2.0 L (2.1 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt) of oil. Use an engine oil
that meets the API service classifications SF or SG and that
has a viscosity rating of SAE 10W-40.

• Install the oil filler cap
3.
• Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes at idling
speed.
• Turn off the engine and wait about three minutes, and then
check the oil level on the dipstick
4. If the level is below
upper line, add oil to that level. The vehicle must be in a level
position for accurate measurement.
Replace initially at 1 month and every 6 months there-
after.
