Engine Oil and Filter (cont'd)
Fuel Efficient Oil
For the best fuel economy from your car, it is recommended
that you use a fuel efficient SG grade oil. This oil is usually
identified by the words such as: "Energy Conserving II,"
"Gas Saving," and "Fuel Saving," etc.
Changing Oil and Filter
Engine oil and the filter should be changed together every 6
months or 7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever comes first.
The filter is located on the engine block, below the intake
manifold.
CAUTION: The oil filter cannot easily be removed from above
the engine. For this reason it is recommended that the oil filter
change be done by a skilled mechanic.
1. Start the car to warm up the
engine, then shut it off.
2. Remove the engine oil filler
cap and drain bolt, and drain
the oil.
A warmed-up en-
gine and the oil in it are hot; be
careful not to burn yourself.
3. Remove the oil filter and let
the remaining oil drain out.
4. Install a new filter according
to the instructions on or with
the filter.
5. Reinstall the drain bolt with a
new washer and tighten it
securely. Refill the engine
with the recommended oil,
to the upper mark on the
dipstick.
