Engine Oil And Oil Filter - Suzuki LT-Z250 Service Manual

2-10 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER

Replace initially at 1 month and every 6 months there-
after.
The oil should be changed while the engine is warm. Oil filter
replacement should be done together with the engine oil change
at the intervals shown above.
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
Place an oil pan under the engine oil drain plug 1, and then
drain out the engine oil by removing the engine oil drain plug
1 and engine oil filler cap 2.
Tighten the engine oil drain plug 1 to the specified torque,
and then pour new engine oil through the oil filler hole. When
performing an oil change (without oil filter replacement), the
engine will hold about 2.2 L (2.3 US qt, 1.9 lmp qt) of oil. Use
the engine oil that meets the API service classifications SF or
SG and that has the viscosity rating of SAE 10W-40.

Start the engine and allow the engine to run for a few minutes

upper line, add oil to that level. The vehicle must be in a level
position for an accurate measurement.
