Engine oil and engine oil filter,
changing
Always follow the recommended oil change interval.
Use only oils of the recommended grades; refer to Oil
Grade and Oil Change Interval.
WARNING!
Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause burns.
1 Run the engine until warm so that the oil is easier
to pump. Stop the engine.
2 Connect an oil drain pump to the oil drain pipe.
Pump out the oil.
3 Unscrew the lubricating oil filter. Place a plastic bag
over the filter before it is unscrewed to avoid oil
spillage.
4 Check that the filter contact area on the engine is
clean.
5 Apply a film of oil on the new filter gasket. Screw
the filter on by hand until it touches the contact sur-
face. Then tighten an extra half turn, no more!
6 Fill with oil to the correct level through the oil filler
on top or to the side of the engine. For oil quantity,
refer to the Technical Data, Lubrication System
section.
Start the engine. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature. Check that the low
oil pressure lamp goes out and that there are no
leaks around the oil filter.
7 Turn off the engine. Wait ten minutes before check-
ing the oil level. Top up as needed.
Hand in the old oil and oil filter to a re-cycling station.
