OIL AND FILTER CHANGE
WARNING
Spilled oil left on engine components or in the engine area may pose a fire
hazard. Use shop rags to clean any spilled oil. If needed, use a non- flammable
solvent on the rag to aid the cleaning process. Do not use any device such as
pressurized water or air as this may disperse the oil onto engine components
and could pose a fire hazard.
Always change the oil and filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 114.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Allow engine to cool down before draining oil.
3. Place a drain pan under the engine crankcase and remove the drain plug
q
.
4. Access the oil filter through the driver’s side rear wheel well.
NOTE
The engine should be off for at least 2 minutes prior to removing the oil filter.
5. Place the shop rags under filter to catch any spilled oil during removal. Using
the Oil Filter Wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise to remove it. Tip the
open end of the oil filter up to minimize oil spill.
