FIGURE 5: OIL FITER REPLACEMENT
• Start the engine and check for leaks
around the oil filter housing and filters.
• Check the oil level. Add approved engine
oil to the recommended level, if
necessary. Do not overfill.
1.3.11 Checking the Oil Level
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level
ground before checking the oil level. Wait five
minutes after shutting off the engine and then
proceed with checking the oil.
CAUTION
DO NOT let the oil level fall below the marking
on the dipstick. DO NOT overfill so the level is
above the upper marking on the dipstick. This
could lead to excessive oil temperature and/or
poor crankcase breather performance. Add oil
through the oil filler pipe as required in order
to maintain level within the safe range.

found defective, replace the EECU as a unit.
• Preparation
1. Close the heater lines shut-off valves.
2. Disconnect the battery or batteries from the
starting system by removing one or both of
the battery cables from each battery system.
With the electrical circuit disrupted,
accidental contact with the starter button will
not produce an engine start.
