The engine oil and filter must be
changed at the time or mileage inter-
val specified in the maintenance sched-
ule. If the vehicle is operated under
severe or adverse conditions, the oil
and filter must be replaced more fre-
quently.
To replace the oil and filter, proceed
as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal
operating temperature and park the
vehicle on level ground with the
parking brake securely applied and
the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil
filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to
collect the displaced oil and re-
move the drain plug from the sump.
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-
gine will be hot. Care should be
exercised to prevent scalding.
4. When the oil has drained from the
sump, replace the drain plug using
a new gasket ensuring that the plug
is not over tightened.
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating
counterclockwise, using a propri-
etary oil filter removal tool if neces-
sary. Note that the oil filter will
contain approximately 0.5 litres of
oil and this should be collected in a
suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared
the sealing ring with clean oil and
rotating clockwise until the filter
contacts the mounting and then a
further one half turn. Do not over-
tighten
Tightening torque: 2.3 ~ 2.5
kgf.m
7. Remove the engine oil level dip-
stick.
8. Pour the specified quantity of the
recommended oil into the engine
and replace the filler cap. Start the
engine and ensure that no oil leaks
exist. Turn off the engine and after
a couple minutes, recheck the oil
level.
