ENGINE OIL FILTER
Replace initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 1 month) and
every 18 000 km (11 000 miles, 18 months) thereafter.
The oil should be changed while the engine is warm. Oil filter
replacement at the above intervals, should be done together with
the engine oil change.
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
Place an oil pan below the engine, and then drain the oil by
removing the engine oil drain plugs (1, 2) and engine oil
filler cap 3.
Tighten the engine oil drain plugs (1, 2) to the specified
torque, and then pour the new oil through the oil filler hole.
When performing an oil change (without oil filter replacement),
the engine will hold about 1.7 L (1.8 US qt, 1.5 Imp qt) of oil.
Use an engine oil that meets API service classifications SF or
SG and that has a viscosity rating of SAE 10W-40.
