Engine Oil Change
Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete
draining.
1. Remove the engine cover. Remove the drain bolt and filler cap, and
drain the oil. Reinstall the drain bolt.
2. Fill the crankcase with the recommended oil (see page 10) and check
the oil level with the dipstick resting on the filler opening (do not screw
in). Fill to the upper level mark.
3. Reinstall the filler cap/dipstick
CAUTION: Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and
service life. Nondetergent oils and low quality engine oils are not recom-
mended because they have inadequate lubricating characteristics.

CAUTION: Used motor oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in con-
tact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless
you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash
your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
NOTE: Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your
local service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it
on the ground.
