Change Engine Oil

1. Warm the engine to normal operating temperature.
2. Make sure that the equipment is standing level and that the engine is stopped.
3. Obtain a sufficiently large draining pan to accommodate the engine oil -- Refer
to "Service Oil fill capacity (including filter):" on page 42.
4. Remove the oil filler cap from the rocker cover, remove the drain plug from the
oil pan and drain the oil into the draining pan.
NOTE: Modern high performance oils have a cleaning action on the engine which
may turn the oil dark, but does not necessarily indicate inadequate oil changes.
5. Replace and tighten the drain plug, then fill the engine via the filler neck in the
rocker cover with the correct quantity of oil -- Refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" on
page 42.
6. Replace the oil filler cap and run the engine for no more than 30 seconds.
7. Check the oil level as described in the following section.
