1. Warm the engine up for a few min-
utes and then turn it off. Remove
the oil filler cap.
2. Drain the oil into a suitable con-
tainer by removing the oil drain
plug.
3. Remove the engine oil filter with
an oil filter wrench.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Do not allow the oil filter gasket to
remain on the oil filter mounting
surface. This will cause oil leakage
and engine damage. Remove the old
gasket completely so that a new gas-
ket may be properly seated.

ter mounting surface on the
engine.
5. Apply a small amount of engine oil
to the new oil filter O-ring seal.

(Refer to the oil filter caution label
for tightening instructions.)

plug. Don’t use an old washer
repeatedly.

has thoroughly drained. Torque the
plug to 3.5~4.5 kg•m (26~32 lb•ft,
35~44 N•m).
9. Refill the engine with new oil to the
F mark on the dipstick. Do not
overfill.

ly.
11. Start the engine and inspect
around the oil filter seal for leaks.

your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil.
