INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE  
NOTE:  
It is important to keep the engine oil at the  
correct level for proper lubrication of your  
vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with  
the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level  
indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle  
is on a slope. The oil level should be  
checked either before starting the engine  
or at least 5 minutes after stopping the  
engine.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE  
Changing engine oil and filter  
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe the oil off with  
a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way  
into the engine, and then remove it again.  
The oil on the stick should be between the  
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.  
If the oil level indication is near the lower  
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to  
the upper limit.  
Refilling  
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still  
warm.

NOTICE  
Failure to check the oil level regularly  
could lead to serious engine trouble  
due to insufficient oil.

Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly  
through the filler hole to bring the oil level  
to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful  
not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost  
as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the  
engine and allow it to idle for about a min-  
ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes  
and check the oil level again.

swallowing new or used oil. Keep  
new and used oil and used oil filters  
away from children and pets.  
Repeated, prolonged contact with  
used engine oil may cause skin can-  
cer.  
CAUTION  
The engine oil temperature may be  
high enough to burn your fingers  
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait  
until the drain plug is cool enough to  
touch with your bare hands.  
Brief contact with used oil may irri-  
tate skin.

2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount-  
ing surface on the engine where the  
new filter will be seated.  
3) Smear a small amount of engine oil  
around the rubber gasket of the new oil  
filter.  
Tightening torque for oil filter:  
3/4 turn or  
14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.3 lb-ft)  
NOTICE  
4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil-  
ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-  
face.  
To prevent oil leakage, check that the  
oil filter is tight, but do not over-  
tighten it.
