CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine before
draining engine oil.
A When draining engine oil, place
some container underneath the
engine and dispose it according to
local regulations.
A Do not drain oil after running the
engine. Allow engine to cool down
sufficiently.
1. Change oil after the initial 50 hours of operation and
every 500 (for DI spec), 250 (for IDI spec) hours
thereafter.
When the annual operating hours are below 500 (DI
spec) or 250 (IDI spec), replace the oil every year.
2. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the engine,
and drain all the old oil. Drain oil will drain easier
when the oil is warm.
3. When letting out the oil, remove the filler plug too.
With the filler plug still in place, it would be difficult to
discharge the oil completely.
4. Add new engine oil up to the upper limit of the oil
level gauge. Be careful not to add oil above the
upper limit of the oil level gauge.
