Adding Engine Oil, Changing the Oil and Filter

Synthetic Oil

You may use a synthetic motor oil if
it meets the same requirements
given for a conventional motor oil: it
displays the API Certification Seal,
and it is the proper weight. You must
follow the oil and filter change
intervals given on the maintenance
schedule.

Engine Oil Additives

Your vehicle does not require any oil
additives. Additives may adversely
affect your engine's or transmission's
performance and durability.

Changing the Oil and Filter

Always change the oil and filter
according to the recommendations in
the maintenance schedule. The oil
and filter collect contaminants that
can damage your engine if they are
not removed regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the vehicle. The vehicle
should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and
proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
mechanic.
1.
Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.
DRAIN BOLT
2.

engine oil fill cap. Remove the oil
drain bolt and washer from the
bottom of the engine. Drain the oil
into an appropriate container.
