Engine Oil
Oil and Filter Changes
Always change the oil and filter
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule. The oil and filter
collect contaminants that can dam-
age your engine if they are not
removed regularly.
Maintenance
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the car. The car 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.
Repeated, prolonged exposure
to used motor oil may cause
skin cancer.
Wash your hands thoroughly
with strong soap as soon as
possible after handling used oil.
1. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.
The oil, engine components
and the exhaust system are
hot and can burn you.
Use caution and wear protec-
tive clothing while working in
the engine compartment.
