Engine Oil and Filter (cont'd)
Fuel Efficient Oil
For the best fuel economy from your car, it is recommended that
you use a fuel efficient SG oil. This oil is usually identified by the
words such as: "Energy Conserving II," "Gas Saving," and "Fuel
Saving," etc.
Changing Oil and Filter
Engine oil and filter should be changed together every 6 months or
7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever occurs first. The filter is on the
engine block, below the intake manifold.
CAUTION:
The oil filter cannot easily be
removed from above the engine.
For this reason it is recommended
that the oil filter change be done by
a skilled mechanic.
1. Start the car to warm up the
engine, then shut it off.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt, and drain the oil.
A warmed-up engine and the oil in
it are hot; be careful not to burn
yourself.
3. Remove the oil filter and let the
remaining oil drain out.
4. Install a new fitter according to
instructions on or with the filter.
