How to renew the lubricating oil

1 Operate the engine until it is warm.
2 Stop the engine.
3 Put a container with a capacity of approximately 30 litres (6.5 UK gallons) 32 US quarts beneath the sump.
Remove the sump drain plug (A1) and its washer and drain the lubricating oil from the sump. Ensure that the
'O' ring is not damaged. Fit the drain plug and its washer and tighten the plug to 68 Nm (50 lbf ft) 6,9 kgf m.
4 Turn the handle on top of the filler cap (B2) counter-clockwise to release the filler cap and dipstick assembly
from the filler tube.
5 Fill the sump to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick (B1) with new and clean lubricating oil of an approved grade,
see "Lubricating oil specification" on page 30.
6 Fit the dipstick and filler cap assembly and turn the handle on the cap clockwise to tighten the filler cap in
the filler tube.
7 Remove the container of used lubricating oil from beneath the engine.
Warning! Discard the used lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.
8 Start the engine and check for lubricating oil leakage. Stop the engine. After 15 minutes check the oil level
on the dipstick and, if necessary, put more lubricating oil into the sump.
Caution: Do not fill the sump past the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
