Engine Oil: Service and Repair

SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL

Recommended API classification: SD OR ABOVE SE OR ABOVE [For EEC.]





Recommended SAE viscosity grades:

NOTE: For best performance and for maximum protection for all types of operation, select only those lubricants which:
1. Confirm to the requirements of the API classification.
2. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range. Lubricants which do not have both a SAE grade number and an API service classification on the container should not be used.


CHANGING 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 the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Drain plug: 35-45 Nm (350-450 kg.cm, 25-33 ft. lbs.)

CAUTION: Whenever tightening oil drain plug, use a new drain plug gasket.

5. Fill the crankcase with fresh engine oil through the oil filler cap opening.
Drain and Refill:
Without oil filter: 4.2 lit (4.4 U.S. qts., 3.69 Imp. qts.)
With oil filter: 4.5 lit (4.74 U.S. qts., 3.95 Imp. qts.)

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

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.
