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.

Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.

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.

Remove the oil filter and let the
remaining oil drain. A special
wrench (available from your
dealer) is required.

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

Open the hood and remove the
engine oil fill cap.

Remove the bolt with a wrench,
then remove the maintenance
cover.
