Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead
to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. Furthermore,
used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants that can cause cancer. When handling
used engine oil, always wear protective clothing and
avoid any skin contact with the oil.
Do not pour engine oil on the ground, down sewers or
drains, or into watercourses. To prevent pollution of
watercourses etc., dispose of used oil sensibly. If in doubt
contact your local authority.
3. Drain the engine oil (see page 9-8).
4. Remove the sump bolts and lower the sump from
the crankcase. Discard the sump gasket.
Inspection
Ensure the oil pick-ups are clean and free of blockages
or restrictions. If the oil flow is restricted, oil pressure will
be reduced and may cause severe engine damage.
If the oil pick-ups are removed, always use new pick-up
bolts during re-assembly. Use of the original bolts may
lead to pick-up detachment leading to severe engine
damage.
