The engine oil and filter must be changed at

ated under severe or adverse conditions, the
oil and filter must be replaced more frequently.

lows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal oper-
ating temperature and park the vehicle on
level ground with the parking brake se-
curely applied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler
cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the
displaced oil and remove the drain plug
from the sump.
OWNER MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the engine will
be hot. Care should be exercised to pre-
vent scalding.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump,
replace the drain plug using a new gasket
ensuring that the plug is not over tightened.
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counter-
clockwise, using a proprietary oil filter re-
moval tool if necessary. Note that the oil
filter will contain approximately 0.5 litres of
oil and this should be collected in a suit-
able receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the
sealing ring with clean oil and rotating
clockwise until the filter contacts the mount-
ing and then a further one half turn. Do not
over-tighten
Tightening torque: 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Remove the engine oil level dipstick.
8. Pour the specified quantity of the recom-
mended oil into the engine and replace the
filler cap. Start the engine and ensure that
no oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine and
after a couple minutes, recheck the oil
level.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil by us-
ing a funnel. Do not overfill to prevent
engine to damage.
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with used
engine oils may result in serious skin
disorders including dermatitis and can-
cer. Avoid contact with skin as far as
possible and always wash thoroughly after
any contact. Keep used oils out of reach
of children. It is illegal to pollute drains,
water courses and soil. Use only autho-
rized waste collection facilities including
civic amenity sites and garages for the
disposal of used oil and oil filters. If in
doubt, contact the local authority for dis-
posal instructions.
