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.
