Place a drain pan under engine. Wipe top of the engine clean with a cloth.
Oil Fill Cap
Remove the oil fill cap.
Be careful of hot oil when drained. It may be hot
enough to burn you severely
Place the oil drain pan under the oil drain plug (1) found at the
rear of the engine base. Remove the drain plug (1), allow the
oil to drain into the pan. At the first oil change, small metal
2
chips and lint may be found. This is normal, resulting from the
break-in period. Inspect the filter at every oil change. The
presence of large metal chips could indicate possible damage
to the engine. Before installing the drain plug, clean the area
around the drain hole with a lint free cloth and inspect the
1
drain plug (1) for damage; replace if necessary. If the O-ring
(2) on the drain plug is damaged replace it with a new one.
Tighten the drain plug to 62 in. lbs (7 Nm) torque.
Clean the area around filter. Use a filter wrench (3) to remove
the filter (4) from the engine and allow the oil to drain.

oil filter O-ring (5) and install oil filter onto the engine until the
