12-26 Simple inspection and service
• Take care not to add more than the specified
quantity of oil. The engine can be severely
damaged if the correct engine oil level is not
maintained.
• When adding engine oil, take care not to spill
it.
If oil is spilled on a belt, the belt will slip on
pulleys.
1.3 Replacement
NOTE:
You must reset the engine control unit every time
after replacing the engine oil. See 1.4 “Resetting the
engine control unit” for details of the method. If you
cannot do it yourself, have it done by an authorized
dealer.
1. If the engine is cold, warm it up until the engine
oil temperature reaches approximately 40°C
(104°F). (It takes approximately 20 minutes of
idling to raise the engine oil temperature from
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).)
NOTE:
Be sure to warm up the engine. Unless you warm
up the engine, you may not be able to drain engine
oil from the oil filter.
2. Clean the surfaces around the oil filler cap
and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Remove drain plug from the oil pan to remove
the oil. Replace the oil filter at the same time.
P. 1 2 - 3 9
NOTE:
Oil removal is quicker if performed not so long after
the vehicle has been stopped and while the oil is
still warm.
4. After oil has been drained out, clean the area
around the drain plug hole.
5. Replace the O-ring with a new one and tighten
the drain plug.
WARNING
The engine oil is extremely hot immediately
after the vehicle has been operated. Take
care to avoid being scalded when draining
hot oil. Give the oil time to cool before drain-
ing it.
