To replace the engine oil
If the engine is cold, start the engine for 1–2 minutes
before you drain the engine oil. This makes the engine
oil warm and easier to drain.
WARNING: Engine oil is very hot directly
after the engine stops. Let the engine
become cool before you drain the engine oil.
If you spill engine oil on your skin, clean with
soap and water.
1. Put a container below the drain plug for the engine
oil.
2. Remove the oil tank cap and dipstick (A), the oil
drain plug (B) and the washer (C).
