hot enough to burn you.  
WARNING  
Used engine oil may cause skin irri-  
tation or cancer if left in contact  
with the skin for prolonged periods  
of time. Used engine oil contains  
chemicals that have caused cancer  
in laboratory animals. Always pro-  
tect your skin by washing your  
hands thoroughly with soap and  
warm water as soon as possible  
after handling used oil.

being spilled on engine components.  
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer  
to “Recommended lubricants and capaci-  
ties” in section 8.)
