The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If the vehicle is being
driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil
and filter changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the coolant
temperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear
selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). Set the parking
brake.
