TIP
If a torque wrench is not available when installing a
spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is
1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the spark plug
should be tightened to the specified torque as soon as
possible.
5. Install the spark plug cap.

Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after
stopping the engine. The oil is hot and should be
handled with care to avoid burns.

up the engine for several minutes. Then stop the
engine.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine. Remove the oil
drain bolt so that the oil can be completely

Replace them if damaged.
