TNV Operation Manual
The engine oil on a new engine becomes
contaminated from the initial break-in of internal
parts. It is very important that the initial oil change
is performed as scheduled.
Note: The oil drain plug may be in another
location if an optional oil pan is used.
Drain the engine oil as follows:
1. Make sure the engine is level.
2. Start the engine and bring it up to operating
temperature.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Remove one of the oil filler caps
(Figure 1, (1)) to vent the engine crankcase
and allow the engine oil to drain more easily.
5. Position a container under the engine to
collect waste oil.
Figure 1
6. Remove the oil drain plug (Figure 2, (1)) from
the engine oil pan. Allow oil to drain.
7. After all oil has been drained from the engine,
reinstall the drain plug (Figure 2, (1)) and
tighten to 14-17 ft lbs (19.6-23.5 N•m, 2.0-2.4
kgf•m).
