Engine Lubrication: Service and Repair

ENGINE OIL
1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the oil filler cap (on rocker cover) and the drain plug (on the oil pan). Drain the engine oil.
4. Re-install and tighten the drain plug to 35-45 Nm (350-450 kg. cm, 25-33 ft. lbs.).

CAUTION: Do not overfill the crankcase. This will cause oil aeration and loss of oil pressure.

5. Fill the crankcase with fresh engine oil through the oil filler cap opening.
6. Install the oil filler cap.
7. Start and run the engine.
8. Stop the engine and then check the oil level. Add oil if necessary.

OIL FILTER
1. Use a filter wrench to remove the oil filter.






2. Before installing the new oil filter on the engine, apply clean engine oil of the surface of the rubber gasket.
3. Tighten the oil filter to 17-25 Nm (170-250 kg. cm, 12-18 ft. lbs.).
4. Start and run the engine and check for engine oil leaks.
5. After stopping the engine, check the oil level and add oil as necessary.
