Engine Oil
Additives
Changing the Oil and Filter
Your vehicle does not need any oil
additives. Purchasing additives for
the engine or transmission will not
increase your vehicle’s performance
or longevity. It only increases the
cost of operating your vehicle.
Always change the oil and filter
according to the time and distance
(kilometers/miles) recommenda-
tions in the maintenance schedule.
The oil and filter collect contami-
nants that can damage your engine if
they are not removed regularly.
Repeated, prolonged
exposure to used motor oil
may cause skin cancer.
Wash your hands thoroughly
with strong soap as soon as
possible after handling used
oil.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the vehicle. The vehicle
should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and
proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
technician.
