See "Cautions".
The engine oil should be changed at the in-
tervals listed in your Maintenance Sche-
dule. If you drive mostly short distances or
in dusty areas, the engine oil should be
changed more frequently.
Be mindful of how you dispose of used
engine oil. Do not dump it on the ground,
into open streams or down sewage
drains. Your zoning regulations or en-
vironmental rules will tell you how you
can dispose of it. Should the disposal of
old engine oil present a problem, we
suggest that you have your oil changed
at your dealer or at a service station.
