Open the hood, and remove the
engine oil fill cap. Remove the oil
drain bolt and washer from the
bottom of the engine. Drain the oil
into an appropriate container.

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

Always change the oil and filter
according to the maintenance
messages shown on the information
display. The oil and filter collect
contaminants that can damage your
engine if they are not removed
regularly.

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.

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

Check the oil filter to make sure
its gasket did not stick to the filter
base. A stuck gasket could cause
an oil leak.
