BChanging Engine Oil
To avoid serious injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before changing the oil.

be hot and may cause burns.
1. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the
area around the oil fill cap/dipstick before removing it.
2. Remove the oil drain plug, the oil fill cap, and the
dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for complete
drainage.
3. The used oil can be drained out more easily if the
engine is warm.
4. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened to
13.6 N-m (10 lbf-ft) torque.
5. Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper type, to
the "F" mark on the dipstick. (See "LUBRICANTS,
FUEL AND COOLANT" in Maintenance section.)
Always check the level with the dipstick before adding
more oil.
6. To check the oil level. Remove the dipstick, wipe it
clean, insert it and draw it out again. Check to see that
the oil level is between the 2 marks.
7. Reinstall the oil fill cap and tighten it securely.
