ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT [13B-MSP]

id0111e4800400

Warning

• Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.

• A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported on safety stands.

• Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water immediately after working with engine oil.

Caution

• If engine oil is spilled on the exhaust system, wipe it off completely. If you fail to wipe the spilled engine oil, it will produce fumes because of the heat.

• Because engine starting performance could worsen, do not use either synthetic or semi-synthetic motor oil.

1. Position the vehicle on level ground.

2. Remove the engine cover. (See ENGINE COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)

3. Remove the oil filler cap.
