Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Clean the area around filter. Use a filter wrench (3) to remove
the filter (4) from the engine and allow the oil to drain.
The O-ring (5) may have remained on engine (6) or filter (7). If
the O-ring (5) remained on the engine surface (6), remove it
and discard with the filter (7).
Inspect the new oil filter for any defects. Apply engine oil to
the oil filter O-ring (5). Install the oil filter onto the engine until
the seal contacts the mounting surface of the engine. Turn the
filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotations by HAND(S). Pour in the specified
type and amount of oil. See CAPACITIES AND REPLACE-
MENT PARTS on page 58.
Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less than 1
1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual oil left in
engine. The oil must be high quality oil that meets or exceeds
API SF, SG, CC standards. Check oil level on the dipstick. Oil
should be slightly below H to allow for expansion. If neces-
sary, continue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow
down into the engine. Check oil level on the dipstick. Do not
overfill.
Do not overfill the engine. Too much oil can cause
smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before
operating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill
cap cause oil to be discharged into the engine compartment
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehicle on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in volume when
warm. The full H mark on the dipstick is calibrated for an engine at operating temperature. When the engine is cold, the
oil will be below the full mark. The engine can be operated safely as long as the oil is within the safe operating range as
indicated on the dipstick. Do not operate the vehicle if the oil level is below the safe area indicated on the dipstick.
