To replace the engine oil and the oil
filter
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:
for more than 1–2 minutes before you drain
the engine oil. The engine oil becomes very
hot and can cause burn injuries. Let the
engine become cool before you drain the
engine oil.
WARNING:
your body, clean with soap and water.
1. Put a container below the oil drain plug on the left
side of the engine.
2. Remove the dipstick.
3. Remove the oil drain plug.
4. Let the oil run out into the container.
5. Attach the oil drain plug and tighten it.
6. Turn the oil filter counterclockwise to remove it.
7. Lightly lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter
with new oil.
8. To attach the oil filter, turn it clockwise by hand until
the rubber seal is in position, then tighten a half turn
more.
