4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace
the drain plug using a new washer and re-
tighten by turning it clockwise.
5. Remove the oil filter. You should be able to
unscrew the filter with your hands. (If your
hands are slippery, try using a cloth be-
tween your hands and the filter to give your-
self a better grip.) A certain amount of oil will
come out when you remove the filter so be
sure to have your drain pan in place under-
neath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructions on the carton or on the filter
itself. Do not over-tighten. Be sure that the
mounting surface on the engine is clean and
that the old gasket is removed completely.
Lubricate the new gasket on the filter before
installation with clean engine oil.
7. Refill the crankcase with the recommended
engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap-
ter 9 for engine oil capacity.
8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil
is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil
level.

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should
be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Ad-
ditional corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must be main-
tained with the correct concentration and type
of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-
sion.
Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to
exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level
or damage to the coolant system may result. For
proper concentration when adding or replacing
the coolant, refer to the following table.
