How to renew the lubricating oil of the
engine
Warning! Discard the used lubricating oil in a safe
place and in accordance with local regulations.
1. Attach a suitable length of hose on the sump pump
(figure 18 item 1) and place a suitable container
with a capacity of at least 16 litres (28 UK pints) at
the other end. If possible, the lubricating oil should
be drained while it is still hot.
2. Pump until all the oil is drained.
Caution: Do not fill the sump past the notch (mark)
on the dipstick as this can have an adverse affect
on the performance of the engine or damage the
engine. Excess lubricating oil must be drained from
the sump.
2. Clean the area around the filler cap on top of the
rocker cover. Remove the cap (figure 19 item 1)
and slowly add approximately 15 litres of new and
clean lubricating oil of an approved specification
to the engine. Allow the oil enough time to pass
to the sump. Remove the dipstick (figure 20 item
1) and ensure that the lubricating oil is to the full
mark. Do not exceed the full mark on the dipstick.
Fit the filler cap and ensure that the dipstick is
fitted correctly in the dipstick tube.
Note: Renew the filter canister when the lubricating
oil is renewed.
